*Plaxico Burress is scheduled to be released from New York’s Oneida Correctional Facility on June 6 – in time for training camp, if there is no NFL lockout – and there is growing support within the Giants organization to bring him back and give him a second chance.
Co-owner Steve Tisch already is on record as championing the troubled wide receiver’s cause, and considers him a dear friend. Co-owner John Mara feels strongly that Burress has paid his debt to society.
General manager Jerry Reese yesterday said the Giants would investigate a possible Plaxico II.
Now defensive captain Justin Tuck has told The Post he, too, would welcome Burress back.
“I know that he’s paid his debt to society, and I think he’s overpaid his debt to society,” Tuck said.

If Michael Vick gets a second chance in the NFL then Plaxico should also.
I knew it! This is only ’cause Eli ain’t done shit since Plaxico left. If the Giants had been winnin’ Super Bowls while he was in prison, then they woulda forgotten all about him.
