Replacing Gonzalez proving to be a chore in K.C.

Maybe, just maybe Pioli plans on signing Burress.

I can't understand the advantage in waiting to do so...
His court date is in September IIRC.

It's not like he'll have a real idea of what Burress' fate will be prior to the season starting.

If he'd brought him in 2 months ago he'd be very well conditioned, partially acclimated to the offense, AND in the beginning stages of developing some chemistry with his QB.

Because like the rest of the NFL, they don't want to sign someone unless they know he can play. If Burress is smart, he will at least be keeping in shape.

They'd have every opportunity to work Burress out and give him a physical before they ever even presented a contract. You aren't going to get a good read on a player without bringing him in. Waiting doesn't afford you any information on him either.

Based on what we've seen so far, I'd say Jones is more of a "Pioli guy" than Burress.
And if Burress gets cleared, I'll bet the farm he goes "across town" to Rex Ryan.

Burress antagonized two great NFL organizations enough that they both let him go. He's a pain in the ass. Pioli isn't going to bring that sort of garbage into the fold. He can't change the culture of the team for the better if he brings in turds like Buress.

Receivers are by and large prima donnas. You're going to get The Stupid in some way, shape, or form to varying degrees.

There's no getting around this.

There are lots of receivers who aren't bitches. Elite ones even.

Wayne
Fitzgerald
Andre Johnson
Welker
Calvin Johnson
Bowe (hopefully)
Roddy White (except when he was bitching about Vick, but that's acceptable)
Greg Jennings

I'm sure I'm missing some. You don't have to be a dumb **** to be a WR. It isn't prerequisite.

I'm willing to bet there are two bitches for every one name on that list.
