Burress on June 11 surprised team officials by keeping himself out of the veteran mini-camp because of what he said was a "business decision" and vowed not to step foot on the practice field until he received a new contract. Today he sounded completely confident a deal will get done. "I'm getting good feedback," Burress told The Post about a new deal. "I think it's going to get done. I'm not concerned about it. . ... I'm happy here in New York, I just want to make sure I'm here for a long time." Burress has three years remaining on the deal he signed with the Giants as a free agent prior to the 2005 season. He's scheduled to make $3.25 million this season and a total of $7.25 million in the next two years.
