Given the man hasn't played a down with the iggles, but if he performs well do you think they will resign him? When I say well, I mean producing the same number he did last season or better. My guess is, if he doesn't get injured, he will produce more than he did last year. Last year he was in an offense with a menial quarterback who had very few weapons. The Eagles have many more weapons on offense, so I believe he'll have a better year. I could see him hitting 1200 yards recieving. If he does this, or simply matches last years numbers, do you think the Eagles will attempt to resign him comensurate with the numbers a reciever of that magnitude would usually demand?
This doesn't deserve a new topic, but I would like to say that I am foaming at the mouth for this season to begin. The anticipation is killing me. I'm ready to go.
He'll be re-signed, don't worry about it. The Eagles don't let good young players walk.

Literally. Young players who refuse to re-sign are beaten about the knees with baseball bats.

Raheem flew away.
i think he'll have about 950 yds and 10 td's.
this discussion is almost like deja vu all over again
What would Stallworth resign from? Players usually retire, and he's a little young for that.
Is he playing tennis or something?
Who's hungry? I'm hungry.

That means you'll get called an irrational homer within the hour for making that prediction.

So lets eat!! Cause goddalmighty I am hungry.
i don't think he'll get 1200 yds, but then again maybe he's one of those players who are due for a breakout year and are in a better situation than ever before. i don't see it happening, i'm not sure what kind of offense was run in NO, but my guess would be he's got alot to learn so late, so we'll just tell him to run straight down the field and look up. Either way i love getting him and most importantly a deep threat.

Yeah but Raheem wasnt good then.
Don't kid yoruself, he was plenty good. The birds farged up the money situation and couldn't pay him. One of the dumbest recent moves by the gold standard.
I blame Tito.
It really wasn't that recent anymore.
Also, Brock is starting for the Colts, but Simon is not.
And they just claimed Dan Klecko off waivers, so they have two DL's from Temple.
Dan Klecko is a good football player.

I agree. A little undersized but a good football player.

He was a 7th round pick out of Temple, the Eagles never signed him. Yes he is good NOW, but it isnt like he was a 7th round stud.

Well, they decided to pay Lito more and that affected how much they had to play with when it came to Brock. They offered him the standard (comparable to the spot he was selected) contract and his agent wanted more. They couldn't give more because of the rookie cap. So they cut ties with him.
99% of the players in the 7th round wouldn't amount to shtein. But he was a gem. They got burned on that one. But if it was a guy like Dominic Furio and they opted to tell him and his agen to go farg themselves for trying to ask for more no one would give a shtein.

how can u even debate this other than he was a 7th round DP that the Eagles ran out of money to sign. Not like he was a 2rd rounder, he was camp fodder coming in.

Actually, I think it was Sheldon Brown that got more--one of the few time having 2 2nd round picks has hurt them.

Who's debating? It's a simple fact. The Gold Standard of the NFL farged up the money situation at the time and couldn't afford to sign the cheapest of drafted players. There is no reason NOT to have the money available to sign a seventh rounder, a fact which iirc even the Eagles admitted at the time. It boils down to this: The Eagles had him and couldn't get it done. Am I supposed to cut them a break? Are they not farging professionals?
And this from a team/HC that is more or less fixated on mining the late rounds and UDFAs. Raheem Brock was an unmitigated snafu. No other player they've passed on in recent years has done nearly so much.
But oh well. Life goes on.
