Somehow Miami has become the hot destination for diva wide receivers, even though Dan Marino retired over a decade ago.

Free agent receiver Plaxico Burress went on record this week to say he would love to suit up for the Dolphins in 2011, even though the team has shown no signs of interest in him.

The former Giant and Steelers WR told WQAM's Sid Rosenberg Monday that he and the Dolphins' Brandon Marshall "would be the best duo in football," if only the Dolphins would sign him.

Burress has not played since late in the 2008 season, after he accidentally shot himself in the right thigh in a New York nightclub. He served nearly two years in prison for gun charges, and was released last month.

Burress said Monday "a few" teams are interested in signing him for 2011, but the Dolphins do not appear to be among them.

That didn't stop him from lobbying for himself. "Just for me to be able to be somewhere I love, that I call home, and to live at one place all year around for the first time in my life," he said, "it would be a beautiful situation."

One problem facing Burress: The Miami Herald's Armando Salguero tweeted last month, "Dolphins source tells me Dolphins are 'absolutely not' interested in Plaxico Burress."

The team already appears to have its receiving corps set with rookie draftee Edmond Gates joining Marshall, Davone Bess, Brian Hartline, and Roberto Wallace.

Burress is not the first receiver to express his desire to wear aqua in 2011. Former Jaguars WR Mike Sims-Walker said earlier this year he would love to "pull a LeBron" and join his college teammate Marshall on the Dolphins.
