Giants' Burress gets extension

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Hours before the New York Giants kicked off the season against the Washington Redskins on Thursday night, Plaxico Burress signed a two-year contract extension that will bump his salary into the $7 million range over the next five years. The deal includes $11 million in guaranteed money that will be paid this season.

Burress, who caught 10 passes for 133 yards in the Giants' 16-7 win over Washington, had three years remaining on his original contract that he signed in 2005. He was to have earned about $10 million over that period.
