His attorneys and prosecutors previously had been unable to agree to a plea deal. Burress previously had been unwilling to agree to more than one year in prison under the terms of a plea agreement while prosecutors reportedly had been seeking two years.

Burress’ sentencing is set for Sept. 22.

He accidentally shooting himself at a Manhattan nightclub last year.

Burress was at the Latin Quarter nightclub on Nov. 29 when an unlicensed gun tucked into his waistband slipped down his leg and fired, shooting him in the right thigh.

A grand jury indicted Burress on weapons charges earlier this month for his self-inflicted gunshot wound last November.

Burress, 32, has been a free agent since the Giants cut him in April. He caught the game-winning touchdown in the final minute of Super Bowl XLII for the Giants.

His attorney, Benjamin Brafman, said in court that the 31-year-old Burress was thinking of his family in taking the plea, although he questioned the recommended prison sentence.

“This was not an intentional criminal act,” Brafman said. “In my judgment, a two-year prison sentence is a very severe punishment.”

With time off for good behavior the sentence could be reduced to 20 months.

“I got a problem with Dirk Nowitzki.  Ok? You don’t tell me that a truly great player–this is the problem with the Dallas Mavericks. This probably goes back to when they BLEW the [NBA] Championship.– A truly great player doesn’t let an owner tell him what to do. I can think of one word.
