As usual, Belichick wasn't talking.
New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick looks out onto the field during their first NFL preseason football game against the New Orleans Saints in Foxborough, Mass., Thursday, Aug. 9, 2012FOXBOROUGH – The New England Patriots worked out Plaxico Burress Sunday afternoon, but the team was unwilling to divulge its level of interest in the veteran wide receiver.
"We work out a lot of players. We just try to know who's available out there. We work out and talk to a lot of guys, give them physicals and all that," Belichick said. "I'm not going to comment on any of them individually."
Burress, 35, caught 35 passes for 612 yards with the New York Jets. He was out of football prior to that while serving a 22-month prison sentence for shooting himself in the thigh at a nightclub.
The Patriots currently have 10 wide receivers on the roster, though none were concerned about the possibility of adding another body to the mix.
"I think we work out guys all the time, and so it’s nothing new around here. You just kind of roll with it," Welker said. "Whatever Coach Belichick thinks is going to help the team, I’m sure he’s going to make those decisions."
