Pat Burrell is open to returning to the Giants next season as a free agent next season even if he would not play every day.

"I came here from being on the couch doing nothing. It wasn't like my phone was ringing off the hook," said Burrell, who turns 34 next month. "For me, I got a lot of appreciation for this club giving me a chance. I'd be thrilled if they wanted to have me back."
