Free agent wide receiver Plaxico Burress expressed interest in joining the Eagles this upcoming season in an interview with 97.5 The Fanatic Tuesday. The 34 year told The Fanatic that nothing would make him happier than coming to Philadelphia.

Last season, Burress signed a one-year contract worth $3 million with the New York Jets and proved that he can still be a productive option in any offense. With the Jets, he had 45 catches for 612 yards and caught eight touchdowns. His solid season came after he spent two years in jail for possessing an unlicensed handgun.

Burress stated that he could be the missing piece that the Eagles need to improve on their 8-8 season last year.

If the Eagles are able to land Burress, Michael Vick would have plenty of weapons and LeSean McCoy will have more running room. He believes that Vick has what it takes to lead the Eagles to the Super Bowl and he wants to be a part of it.
