Just had a conference call with agent Drew Rosenhaus, who represents both storylines, er, players here at Giants minicamp -- Jeremy Shockey and Plaxico Burress.
"I don't like commenting on negotiations that are ongoing with a given team as a general rule, but we are in discussions with the Giants as it relates to a contract extension with Plaxico and we are hopeful of getting something worked out here in the near future."
He also said he had nothing new to add on Shockey
"He's not practicing right now because he's still rehabilitating his ankle. He still has some work to do. He's not in a posoition to practice at this time."
Asked if his not attending practice this morning had anything to do with potential contract negotiations or trade demands, Rosenhaus said "No, that had nothing to do with it. Jeremy has stated his position that any discussions with his relationship with the team is something he would like to keep between us and the club and I'm going to respect and honor that."
Then Rosenhaus said goodbye.
"Stay in touch," he said.
