Donte' Stallworth

[Eaglez]

He might want to stay, but at his age he is not going to take a considerable paycut to stay in Philly. And I don't blame him -- make as much money as you can early on in your carreer, but an NFL career can end at any moment on the field of play.

Also, Rosenhaus will not permit him to take less money to stay anywhere.

Again, doesn't mean anything, but he sounds like a player that wants badly to stay in Philly.

he clearly does...hes stated so time and time again...but you have to imagine after hearing all the recent comments by the eagles front ofice regarding him he is going to change that positive stance soon

[MURP]

Lets see just how bad Stallworth wants to stay in Philly.  Money talks, BS walks. 

and we pray.

[Drunkmasterflex]

Well if he really wants to stay it is going to have to be for less money, we know the FO will not get into a bidding war for a player.  The problem is he is too good and too young for a team that is thin at WR not to make a big play for him.

I know of one team who's otherwise thin at WR... who has no problem not making a big play for him.

Hotlanta?

[General_Failure]

Basically, any team in the NFC would like to have him. Except Nawlins. As a second or third guy.

[BigEd76]

Tampa Bay could be interested, but they'll likely take Calvin Johnson instead.  Maybe San Francisco?  Minnesota?

Tampa Bay
Minnesota
San Diego
Atlanta
San Francisco
New England
Tennessee


I think KC might be the ones who go hard after him. They have nothing (Kennison and Parker) at WR. Maybe they go with a Stallworth & Jeff Webb duo next year. Carl Peterson likes cherry picking the Eagles roster.

Tampa could draft Johnson and sign Stallworth. Clayton has fizzled and Galloway is on his last legs.

Minnesota because Andy would recommend him to Brad and because they need help at WR. Williamson sucks.

San Diego has Vincent Jackson and thats about it. Eric Parker is a #3 guy and McCardell is done.

SF signed Bryant and he's been a bum. Arnaz Battle scare anyone?

New England is a longshot especially since they can sign anyone and make them look good.

Tennessee has a ton of money to spend.

[General_Failure]

So, basically, half the league. So long, Stallworth.

[PhillyPhreak54]

FYI;

Mike Furrey of the Lions is supposedly close to a deal that will bring him back to Detroit. He had a great year and one certainly better than Donte (not saying he is better, but stats talk in contract deals) so this will kind of let us get an idea of what the market starts out at for a WR.

98 catches; 1086 yards; 6 TDs; 9 catches of 20+ yards

38 catches; 725 yards; 5 TDs; 14 catches of 20+ yards

Will this have an effect on Donte? Who knows. But it'll be interesting to see how much he gets.

[SunMo]

19 yards per catch...how do they even consider letting him go?

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

The only scenario in which I'm ok with them not re-signing Stallworth is if all of the following happen:

1.  He signs elsewhere and becomes one of the top-5 paid WR's in the game.
2.  The Eagles actually spend a chunk of cap money on improving the front seven on defense.
3.  They sign or trade for a veteran of some sort that is actually good enough to start at WR, instead of trying to pass off Baskett, Lewis, or Avant as a starting WR.

[SunMo]

ha, i just remembered that they kept Greg Lewis instead of Jabar Gaffney

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Greg had a much better regular season than Gaffney did in New England and actually filled his role nicely.

Actually, in general, I thought the play of the WR's this season was actually good.... which is why they need Stallworth back, because the whole group is young and take be even better next year.
