Donte' Stallworth

[BigEd76]

Eckel:

Stallworth and his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, want the bidding for the fleet wideout to begin at six years and $40 million, with an $18 million signing bonus.

A more realistic deal might be six years for $35 million, with $14 million in bonuses.

Chump change.

As long as it doesn't cross the 35 mark the Eagles should keep him. Avant is not a viable replacement. Nor is Baskett for that matter. If they don't want to damage their cap number then make the first year small. Banner is smart enough to get the numbers right.

He's the best WR available in free agency.  Realism's got nothing to do with what he'll be looking for or what he'll end up getting.

The Eagles aren't paying 40 mil with a 18 mil signing bonus. Ain't happnin".

[ice grillin you]

derrick burgess was overpaid too

[Diomedes]

yeah, but his injury history....

[MadMarchHare]

I want Donte to stay, but.......if he gets 5 mil a year from another team, is he worth it?  I'm not trying to play devil's advocate, just curious what everyone thinks.  Clearly, no one on the team possesses his speed, and he showed better hands than anyone else, but is he worth huge money?  Is he a game breaker worth that kind of money?

Does anyone remember off-hand what they paid T.O. when he signed?

[ice grillin you]

it was a 10 mil sb

i dont recall the overall numbers 7 years 45 mil???

I think he's worth 5 mil a year or 30 mil for five years with a 10 mil signing bonus. No, I don't think he's worth 40 mil for 6 years with a 18 mil signing bonus. But someone will pay him close to that, imo.

Amazing how much the financial landscape in the NFL has changed since March 2004.

Anyway...

I don't really give a shtein what it takes to sign Stallworth.  They should recognize his worth to the team and sign him, period.  If it means going over budget for once, then do it.  He's worth it, IMO.
