New York, NY -- (Sports Network) - Former New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress had his weapons possession case delayed until September on Monday.

The New York Post stated that the adjournment signaled the end of a possible plea deal for the former Giants star, who shot himself in the thigh with an unlicensed gun on November 29.

Burress, 31, has pleaded not guilty to his crimes and is free on $100,000 bail. He was released by the team in April. It is possible that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell could hand down a suspension from football based on the league's personal conduct policy, but no decision has been made yet.

"I do not see any reason why he should not be able to play this entire season," said Burress' attorney, Benjamin Brafman. "Even if there is an indictment, it's inconceivable to me in its present posture that this case would proceed to trial until the spring of 2010."

The Michigan State product played in only 10 games for New York last season, registering 35 catches for 454 yards and four touchdowns. In the 2007 campaign, he posted 70 receptions, 1,025 yards receiving and 12 scores, also catching the game-winning touchdown pass in that season's Super Bowl.

For his career, Burress, in nine seasons with Pittsburgh and New York, has caught 505 passes for 7,845 yards and 55 touchdowns.
