There's a lot of information about Plaxico Burress rumbling around Twitter this evening. As is so often the case in Twitterville, there are some shades of gray regarding how much of it is true and/or meaningful.

What is true is that commissioner Roger Goodell has initiated a review of Burress' self-shooting incident under the NFL's personal conduct policy. This information came courtesy of the Twitter account of Brian McCarthy (NFLprguy) at the league office, and it came about 35 minutes or so after Burress' agent, Drew Rosenhaus (RosenhausSports), tweeted that "There are now 5 teams interested in Plaxico. I expect more teams to enter the mix over the next few weeks as well."

The question is to what extent the Goodell news impacts the Rosenhaus spin.

The Washington Redskins have re-structured the contract of wide receiver Santana Moss, giving him a new guaranteed payment of $6.28 million in the process. As you might expect, Moss's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, is pleased.

And as everyone who's following Rosenhaus on Twitter (like me) would expect, Rosenhaus has taken to expressing his pleasure in 140-character increments.

On Tuesday, former Vikings quarterback and Hall of Famer Fran Tarkenton went on the radio to share his thoughts on Brett Favre's inability to retire (among other things). Short version: if Brett ends up in Minnesota, Fran hopes he fails.

Today, Tarkenton was back on the airwaves to talk more Favre and, well, just about everything else. Like ESPN's Marcellus Wiley, who called Fran a "grumpy old man" yesterday. Via Sportsradiointerviews.com:

The difficult contract negotiations between disgruntled receiver Anquan Boldin and the Arizona Cardinals took an interesting turn Tuesday with the news that Boldin has filed paperwork with the players' union to fire agent Drew Rosenhaus and seek new representation.

It's unclear who Boldin's new agent would be as he seeks a restructured contract or a trade from Arizona. The rules require him to wait at least five days after firing his agent to secure a new one. It's also unclear what this means in terms of where Boldin will play in 2009. Heck, it's not even really clear that he's through with Rosenhaus for good. At least not if you believe Rosenhaus's prolific and popular Twitter page.

As we all know from Drew Rosenhaus' Twitter feed, grumpy Jets running back Thomas Jones plans to report to the team's voluntary workouts this week after skipping them all so far this off-season because he doesn't like his contract anymore. But according to Rich Cimini in the New York Daily News, Jones' change of heart doesn't mean the Jets have had one on their end.

The Jets have been playing hardball with Jones, going so far as to draft Iowa RB Shonn Greene in the third round of last month's draft as a way of telling Jones he could be replaced. When Rosenhaus met with Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum earlier this week at the NFL owners' meetings in Fort Lauderdale, it doesn't appear as if he got any satisfaction, according to Cimini:

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- Drew Rosenhaus is apparently mad as hell, and he's not going to be constrained by Twitter's 140-character limit. The Twitter-happy NFL superagent, who stopped by the owners meetings at the Ritz-Carlton here Tuesday to meet with some teams about some clients, doesn't give the impression of a man who believes those meetings went especially well.

Usually, Rosenhaus uses his Twitter account as a way of putting out 140-character fluff press releases about his clients: "______ is in great shape and is going to have a huge year for the ______s in 2009." Something like that. But this morning, he fired off a series of tweets venting about NFL owners who don't spend all the way up to the salary cap and the double-standard that allows teams to cut players but doesn't let players renegotiate deals in progress.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- Despite numerous twitter updates that indicate he's in the building, I have been unable to locate agent Drew Rosenhaus. It appears, however, that Mike Tannenbaum was more successful.

Tannenbaum, the Jets' GM, is here at the meetings along with Jets owner Woody Johnson. One of Rosenhaus' clients is Jets running back Thomas Jones, who has been skipping the team's voluntary workouts this spring due to dissatisfaction with his contract. But Rosenhaus' latest "tweet" gives a strong indication that he met with Tannenbaum Tuesday and the situation has been addressed:

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- Coming to you live from the beach, where NFL owners begin gathering tonight at the Ritz-Carlton for two days of meetings. I'll be posting developments as they come up, but in the meantime here's a quick rundown on what these guys will be discussing this week in between their regular checks of Drew Rosenhaus' twitter updates:

-The 2013 Super Bowl. Sometime Tuesday, the league will announce the site of the 2013 game. New Orleans is the favorite, but South Florida and Arizona remain in the running until somebody tells us otherwise. The weather here was gorgeous today, but it's clouding up and thunderstorms are forecast for the next couple of days. Such things are unlikely to seriously hurt South Florida's case, but it can't help. The next three Super Bowls are set for Miami, Arlington and Indianapolis.

As the season grows closer and closer, the malign on the Bears receiving corps gains steam. It seems as though everyone in the world believes the receiving corps is so bad that Jay Cutler can't be successful. Nevermind the fact that the vastly inferior Kyle Orton threw for almost 3,000 yards and 18 touchdowns (in 15 games) in the same offense last season. It's not as though the losses of Marty Booker and a handful of games from Brandon Lloyd are irreplaceable.

Still, Bears general manager Jerry Angelo just can't escape the question of whether or not the Bears will pursue help at wide receiver. Inevitably, Plaxico Burress' name arises.

Last November, then-Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress accidentally blew a hole in his thigh at a Manhattan night club. Not long after, the Giants "Keyshawn-ed" him, and in April they released the guy who hauled in the Super Bowl-deciding touchdown 14 months prior.

Burress has been in and out of court on illegal gun charges, and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg threatened to make an example of him. Assuming Burress avoids time in the slammer, there's a chance he returns to the NFL next season. And not just because his agent Drew Rosenhaus Tweets as much (while running wind sprints!). Some players would gladly welcome Plax into their locker room.
