Good Les Bowen article in which heckert 'splains a few things.

http://www.philly.com/mld/philly/sports/football/16745636.htm

Most notable points

- if they need more cap room, than can easily create it by converting '07 roster bonuses into signing bonuses
- such would be the case if they decided to franchise or sign Stallworth to a sizeable contract; creating the $ isn't the issue
- they are trying to re-sign Stallworth, Garcia, Mikell, Juqua, and Bucky. Will James and Barber are also possibilities per Bowen
- if they can re-sign Mikell, they might not have to go after more than 1 saftey in the draft/FA

I like Heckert interviews alot. He says more in 10 minutes than AR will say in 5 years. Philly.com also has another article with out- takes from Heckert.

I'm not sure but I think next week is the end of the period to franchise players and coincides with the beginning of free agency. Heckert said there could be re-signings before this time.

PackersNews.com (Green Bay Press Gazette):

There's nothing approaching an outstanding receiver on the market, though Philadelphia's Donte Stallworth is perhaps the most intriguing player because of his speed. St. Louis' Kevin Curtis is another receiver who can stretch the field, and Tennessee's Drew Bennett is a big target who's become productive.

Stallworth was drafted by New Orleans when McCarthy was the Saints' offensive coordinator. Stallworth, 26, might be young enough to appeal to Thompson's and McCarthy's rebuilding plans, but in a weak free-agent market in which 22 teams have at least $10 million in salary-cap room, he might come at a price that's too inflated to bear for Thompson, who has proven cautious to operating in the higher-stakes free-agent market.

The Eagles couldn't possibly lose their best free agent to the Packers.

That would be unprecedented!!AiDs!!1!

[JackStraw]

Oh great...next thing you know God's gonna get involved. We can only hope Donte leans Dante...

[General_Failure]

If he does, there's a good chance Bunkley might die in a car accident. The player or the poster.

The only starter not under contract is wide receiver Donté Stallworth. The Eagles acquired Stallworth in a trade last August and he caught 38 passes for 725 yards and five touchdowns in the regular season. Stallworth's 19.1 yards per catch led the entire NFL, but he missed four games with a hamstring injury. In the playoffs, Stallworth caught six passes for 141 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

Stallworth's greatest asset is his speed and his ability to stretch the field. Stallworth has expressed his desire to remain an Eagle in numerous interviews since the end of the season, but Mornhinweg is prepared to move on should Stallworth sign with another team. He has a lot of confidence in Reggie Brown, who will be entering his third season, as well as last year's rookie receivers - Jason Avant and Hank Baskett.

"We've got some good young players on this football team who are ready to step up," said Mornhinweg.

Thanks for the memories, Donte.

Shut up.

"We've got some good young players on this football team who are ready to step up," said Mornhinweg.

Donte Stallworth is, coincidentally, a very good young player.

[Diomedes]

His hamstring prevents him from stepping up?

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

That sounds roughly like the steaming pile of bullshtein the FO will feed us on this one... yep.

this is quote from saints general manager mickey loomis that was in the daily news on friday...

Loomis said injuries weren't the Saints' primary concern with Stallworth. They were more worried about not being able to re-sign him.

"I think the injury history is a little overblown," Loomis said. "He had some of those issues early on for us, but not the last couple of years. I know he had an issue this year in Philadelphia, but I don't know all the circumstances involved."
