Donte' Stallworth

[Wingspan]

PFT.com says the Eagles made an offer of 1 year 1.5 million to Stallworth and that the Niners are now interested in him.

So any player the Eagles make a 1 yeay/1.5M offer too the 49ers will become interested in?

Got it.

[Father Demon]

Agree.  That's insulting.

[DH]

1.5 for 1 year is insulting. If thats true, I cant believe they would do that.

Almost sickening.

[PhillyGirl]

Again, "we're told" doesn't give me any warm and fuzzies that its actually true.

[SunMo]

i agree, and i was serious when i said i didn't believe it.  i honestly can't believe they would offer him that.  something is not right with that report

Not much does it seems.

You guys live in a dreamworld if you think NFL teams act any differently towards players they can't re-sign than the Eagles do.

give me numerous instances like i did with the wagles of another franchise doing the same to players that wouldnt resign


Listening to sports radio here in chicago the other day, i realized fans are the same everywhere.  "The Bears are too cheap to re-sign Briggs, how could they let Rivera leave, they're pocketing all this cap money, they don't care about the fans, they're arrogant, they treat this like a business..."  Sound familiar?

apples and oranges...youre talking about the fans reaction to a team not spending money...that indeed happens everywhere...im talking about how the eagles treat their players who they cant resign


1 year, 1.5 million...i refuse to believe that, it can't be true

normally i would agree but at this point i wouldnt put anything past banner

Lance Briggs was franchised and he's pissed.  Fans are getting ticked off.  It's the same shtein.

[Father Demon]

Maybe the report is wrong, and it's really $1M for 1.5 years.

Wait..  that would be worse....

franchising is part of the game...its in the rules and theres nothign wrong with a team using it....franchising someone and then pulling that tag a month or two into free agency so you can kill a persons value is a whole nother thing

using the franchise tag when you can't get a deal worked out, knowing full well you're never getting one done is just a different way of killing someone's value.

The team can't "pull the tag" if the player signs the franchise tender.  Just stop it already.

youre brilliant...if someone signs the tender then there is no tag...if the player doesnt sign it then the team can pull it anytime they want

[The BIGSTUD]

This whole situation has just become laughable. Now that Stallworth isn't getting the crazy offers everyone thought, it should've been a sure lock that he'd be back. But if 1 year 1.5 million is the highest they go then the Linc needs to be burned to the ground.
