Donte' Stallworth

[methdeez]

3.6 million in cap hit is not that much. Are youse crazy?
and if you gave him 18 million up front, if the salary was evenly distributed each year the average cap hit would be 2.4 million. So, 6 million a year in cap. Is that so bad? The salary cap will soon be over 100 million, and i'm sure the eagles would back-load to take advantage of that. Is 6% of your cap so terrible to spend on your #1 reciever?

not at all...and as mentioned many times before...the eagles can afford that but simply dont want to

the eagles dont ever do much in freee agency but the one time youd think theyd make an exception is for their own guy who is the number one FA at his position and someone who just six months ago you gave up a draft pick

what curious is that they were concerned enough with their wr's at the time to give a pick for stallworth..and this is a team that loves draft picks...now they are going into next year with just as bad wr's and on top of that concerns at the QB position...can you imagine a scenario where feely is throwin to baskett and avant for the for the first quarter of the season....yikes

... with one less draft pick for their troubles.

According to Spadaro's blog, Stallworth/Rosenhaus plan to wait and see what Kevin Curtis gets (from Detroit?) and use that as the minimum for a new deal.  He says he's pretty much accepted that Stallworth is gone...

Some guy on WIP from the west coast(a Niners writer) said he doesn't think the Niners will go after Stallworth. He said they'll address defense in free agency and go receiver in the draft.

That blog has me ready to crush my computer with my bare hands.

18 million signing bonus over 5 years with no initial base salary is $3.6 million cap hit for the first year and then 3.6 plus whatever salary each consecutive year. That's not too shabby.

Everyone in the NFL gets a base salary, no matter what their bonus is. The thing that agents look at is the first 3 years of the contract--that's why a lot of teams are putting in option bonuses and roster bonuses in 2nd and 3rd years of contracts. If someone gives Stallworth 18M, they'd better spread it over 6 years, the maximum allowable; at any rate, 18M plus 600K in his initial year, would be 3.6M--but then you have the salaries going up after that--at worst a minimum salary based on longevity in the league.

Detroit's really gonna pay Curtis that much money, enough for his contract to be the minimum for Stallworth? Wow....Either Curtis is getting overpayed or Rosenhaus is going to be REALLY open to negotiations down from that initial number he threw out.

I still think the Eagles will throw a contract offer his way right out of the gate....but I think it'll be far below 6/40/18 and I think some team with a lot more cap space will throw near that amount at Stallworth and he'll take the money over the team situation.

just unbelievable that an agent would throw out an initial number that was unrealistic isnt it?

Under that whole pile of shtein, there's GOTTA be a pony under there SOMEWHERE!

[ice grillin you]

easy you better be posting to tell me that the eagles are making a real push to sign donte

[BigEd76]

  Nah, I was just responding to this...

who cares....theyve been throwin contracts at him since the day they got him

...and supposedly they offered him the same deal Reggie Brown got (5/$27M/$10M) and he wanted no part of it...

So much for him staying in Philly for less money.



I always thought that notion was comical and not in a good way.  More of a "I'm laughing at this poor retarded mongoloid and I'll probably have to do 100 years in purgatory because of it" kinda way.

McNabb should be offering to convert some of his salary to get Stallworth back!
