Donte' Stallworth

Bwest is definatly injury prone. I don't think a hamstring injury can compare with bad knees. You lose a lot more time with a knee injury and it's way more serious, imo.

Stallworth on TV: 'I definitely want to be with the Eagles'By LES BOWEN
bowenl@phillynews.com
In an episode of "The Best Damn Sports Show" taped yesterday, receiver Donté Stallworth reiterated that he hopes to return to the Eagles but also elaborated on some possible destinations in free agency.

Stallworth, 26, came to the Birds in a trade last Aug. 28 for linebacker Mark Simoneau and a fourth-round draft pick that becomes a third if the Eagles sign him before free agency starts March 2. For that reason, the Birds are very unlikely to sign Stallworth before his contract expires. They have expressed interest in bringing him back, but have said he might command more money than they can afford to spend in a free-agent market that is light on talent.

"I love the Eagles and I love being there, and I'm hoping that we can get things worked out," Stallworth said during the taping, for a show that will be aired tonight. "There are some other interesting situations that I have on the table, but as far as being with the one team, I definitely want to be with the Eagles."
Asked about other situations, Stallworth said: "There's New England, obviously being able to play in an organization like that, similar to the Eagles, who have definitely won a lot of games in the past. San Francisco, young and upcoming team, has a good young quarterback [Alex Smith], and Norv Turner is still the offensive coordinator there, that helps... And Miami, the GM there was a guy who drafted me in New Orleans, Randy Mueller, and we've always had a real good relationship. But as far as actually picking a team, Philly is definitely No. 1 right now."

In addition to the Mueller tie, Stallworth's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, historically has enjoyed a close relationship with the Dolphins.

He's just whining about a five month old conversation that you weren't even involved in. Don't worry.

I know, it's not fun being wrong. Don't worry, some other things you bitch about are true. So it all evens out.

Shore-It's now been what....7 years since he last tore a knee ligiment? I think it's safe to say he's healed. Stallworth's hammy's are a continuing problem that has effected his NFL career.


At least that little snippet SD posted gives some faint hope to that 4% chance the Eagles are waiting until March 2 to sign him. Which means it won't happen. Great.

[Rome]

LMFAO.

He's gone.  I don't give a shtein what fluffing Rosenthief has him doing in the press.

He's gone, plain and simple.

7 years since he last tore a knee ligiment? I think it's safe to say he's healed

westbrook couldnt practice much of this season and missed one full game and portions of others with a knee injury...and while it wasnt a torn ligament its due to the numerous knee surgeries/injuires hes had

the farther he goes into his nfl career the higher the chance his knees break down...much like what trotter is going thru now

again what is your point here?

that stallworth should or shouldnt be resigned....because if you agree that he should be then shut the farg up because you agree with everyone else...or are you just trying to feed your insatiable hunger for argument and making yourself look stupid

Exactly my point. He will never be totally healed. All of what happened with the fluid build up last year is due to the tear he had in the past.

[Munson]

Really? I could have sworn I saw Andy Reid and Burkholder talking about the BONE BRUISE he had on his knee causing swelling.


Liars.

[SunMo]

yes, duh guys!

they never lie about anything, NFL head coaches always tell the truth!

Every NFL's players knees are going to break down as thier careers go on. Well, if they're playing anyway.

And my point was just the question I asked you earlier...I faintly remember you talking about Westbrook being too injury prone to carry the load during this past pre-season, but I could have easily mixed you up with someone else....but if yo uwere questioning his injury problems in the NFL, I was askign why you weren't doing the same thing to Donte Stallworth, who's missed more time with a reoccuring injury. A guy who's missed significant time in 3 seasons with a reoccuring injury, whether you like the FO or not, that should be in the discussions at the contract talks. An excuse to not re-sign him? Hell farging no. If anythnig, show the head trainer you have some faith in his work and be willing to risk money on what would be the best WR on the teamm if you sign him.

Stallworth/Brown for the next 5 years makes me happy in the pants.

You're grasping at straws to avoid changing a ridiculous stance on this.

[Munson]

Yeah guys! I TOTALLY SAID THAT!!11OMGHZZ!

The athletic trainer for the team came out and said he had a bone bruise on his knee that was causing swelling, and with that type of injury it would tend to flare up after a games worth of workload. Notice how it actually dissapeared towards the end of the season when Westbrook was actually getting more carries. They must have REALLY been working hard to cover up an injury as serious as that.

Stance on...........What? Westbrook's knee injury 7 years ago not really playing a large role on his NFL injuries, this year being the first year he's had any real problems with his knees?

Yeah, that ACL tear 7 years ago was really what was respoinsible for the broken ribs or the lis franc sprain....An then. Wow. An NFL RB getting brusing a knee. Hold on, I gotta hide my suprise.

It's funny seeing how much support Donte Stallworth has on here to be resigned and no one will even mention the fact that he's injury prone because they know that's one excuse the FO might use to offer him lower money. I mean I can hate the FO all I want but if I"m going to believe that Brian Westbrook is "injury prone", then by my own logic I'd have to beleive that Donte STallworth is injury prone.

And so far the only one who's come out and realyl said that he is injury prone is IGY.

[SunMo]

Westbrook and Stallworth are injury prone

that should not keep either from being signed to a long term contract, and in Westbrook's case, it didn't

shut up

Cry me a river nutsack. Think of some words or shut up.
