New York Giants P Jeff Feagles has sold his No. 17 jersey to WR Plaxico Burress, reports Michael Eisen of Giants.com. In exchange for the No. 17 jersey, Burress has agreed to purchase an outdoor kitchen for Feagles' home in Arizona. Feagles will wear jersey No. 18 this season. Burress said he wanted No. 17 because it represented a new beginning for him after five years with the Pittsburgh Steelers (with whom he wore No. 80).

Wow, must be nice to have money to be able to buy a number. I'd take that deal in a heartbeat, good job Feagles.

This is actually about 2 weeks old. What's funny is that Burress's agent made the deal.

Also, Feagles used to wear #10. Manning gave Feagles a vacation to Florida for the #10 jersey last year.

That is priceless....Feagles keeps falling into good fortune.

Those PK/P sure know how to cut deals. I guess it's because they don't make that much (from a pro football player's standpoint) so they have to cut deals here and there to try to tie up those loose ends.

It must be good to be Feagles, selling his jersey nimber for vacations and add-ons to his house, for just a number...
