The Facts:
Following up on
an ongoing story. ... In answering a reader's question, FOXSports.com's Adam Caplan advised readers that he believes the eagles are interested Burress — specifically head coach/executive vice president Andy Reid, who makes the personnel decisions.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
In talking with personnel sources recently, one told Caplan that Reid has always been impressed with Burress’ ability to beat coverage with his size and that he expects the Eagles to make a run at him once free agency starts. Caplan's reporting jibes with that of New York Daily News columnist Gary Myers, who suggested
the Eagles will be the first in line to check Burress out once he’s
released from jail on June 6. Caplan went on to point out that Eagles' interest is understandable given the veteran wideout's track record against them. In his eight games (including one playoff game) against the Eagles as a Giant, Burress posted 37 receptions, 650 yards and seven TDs. And five of those TDs came inside the red zone, where the Eagles struggled a bit scoring touchdowns via the air last season. ... It does sound interesting. In fact, the scoring angle is downright intriguing from a Fantasy Football perspective.
