Drew Rosenhaus screwed up on his negotiation for Burress, he did not get enough guaranteed money.
Quote:
The Giants can cut or trade Burress after the season and simply eliminate $23 million of the $27-million-in-new-money deal he signed with the Giants. In effect, as I said on NBC last night, when I examine the deal, I see the contract totally on the come. And the first big test of this contract will come on Dec. 10, when Burress is due $1 million from the original and only guaranteed money in the deal, the third installment of a $4.325-million signing bonus when he signed.

(from the Monday Morning QB by Peter King I referred to yesterday)
So he is trying to stroke the Giants in hopes they don't cut Burress.
