The Facts:
Burress was released from prison Monday after serving nearly two years on a gun charge. Burress walked out of the Oneida Correctional Facility in central New York at approximately 9 a.m. ET with his lawyer, Peter Frankel, and was greeted by agent Drew Rosenhaus, who gave his client a big bear hug.

Burress, wearing an old school Phillies hat, a black zip-up hoodie and shorts -- then met with reporters and delivered a brief comment. "I just want to thank God for bringing me through one of the most trying times in my life," he said to reporters outside the prison. "It's a beautiful day. It's a beautiful day to be reunited with my family. I want to go home and spend some quality time with them. ..." Burress is expected to travel to South Florida sometime Monday. Rosenhaus said his client is ready to immediately begin training in hopes of resuming his NFL career. "Plaxico is going to be a top free agent, there are going to be multiple teams interested in signing him," Rosenhaus said. "I expect him to get a good contract, I expect him to absolutely be playing. I think he'll be coveted. He'll be one of our top free agents." Teams like the New York Jets, St. Louis Rams, Washington Redskins and Eagles could be interested in the receiver, but Fantasy Football owners might want to take a wait-and-see approach before getting too excited.
