“No doubt about it. My brother lives right there in Charlotte, my cousin lives there in Charlotte and all my family is there in Columbia, South Carolina,” said Burress. ”It would just be a great situation all the way around and being close to everybody.

Burress claims that teams have been interested in him, but he’s looking for the right fit.

Now that Plaxico Burress has effectively gotten the snub from the Carolina Panthers, there’s a bit of doubt whether he’ll even have a team to play for in 2012.
