Donte' Stallworth

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I really think that if the Eagles had faith in Stallworth to stay healthy, they'd find the cap space to sign him. I think his chronic hamstrings are more of a factor than the $$$.

No Stallworth news yet, eh? Maybe he doesn't have as much interest as anticipated.

...or maybe this is just going to be a slow torture for Eagles fans.

I'm kinda disappointed that Stallworth hasn't signed with the taterskins yet.

What's Danny waiting for?

how does he do it every year and still have $$$ the following year??

He's not really one of the top 5-10 guys out there. Those guys are going to get the big interest right away.

Latest update from Clayton on Sportscenter: Stallworth has no visits scheduled but is hoping to meet with San Francisco, and he's still talking to the Eagles

Damn you Ed for giving me a glimmer of hope

Damn you Ed for giving me a glimmer of hope

I know, right. 

Ed, I swear to Jeebus, God and Baby Jeebus that I'm going to kick your ass up and down the Linc parking lot if the Eagles don't resign him now.  And if you're a lot bigger than me then I'm just going to cheap shot you in the nuts and run like hell.   Cause I ain't scared of anyone who can't catch me.

There's been some confusion about NO's compensation if he does/doesn't re-sign, here's the lowdown compliments of Spads:

To clear up some draft pick questions (I know, I know, it's still free agency, but ...) the Eagles have all of their draft picks except one this year. If Donte' Stallworth signs elsewhere in free agency, the Eagles owe New Orleans a fourth-round pick this year. If the Eagles sign Stallworth (and I think it is very much a longshot), the Eagles owe New Orleans a third-round pick in April.

I know SF had a lot of money going into FA, but now that they've just signed Clements and Lewis, how they doing?  They still got plenty of money for Stallworth?

I (and I think many other around here were as well) thought that the Eagles only gave up a 3rd if they resigned Stallworth at anytime prior to the start of free agency. 

I'll say this right now.  If Spads is right on this one and the Eagles would have had to ante up a 3rd rounder regardless of when he was re-signed I very well may hunt down Reid/Banner/Lurie/Heckert and drown them in a pool of scalding hot bacon grease for not locking him up months ago.

SF had something like $44M, I think?

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

Per a Derrick Gunn thread on the EMB, McNabb has said that he's willing to renegotiate his contract to help the team.

[PhillyPhreak54]

The question is, does it even matter if McNabb offers any cashback or defers his salary? I don't think it does because those clowns in the front office believe that Hank Baskett and/or Jason Avant can do what Stallworth did. Until they get their heads outta their asses and realize that this team NEEDS a field-stretching deep threat nothing will get done short of Stallworth and Rosenhaus crawling into Banners office on their knees with their hands out willing to accept the Eagles terms.

[Eagaholic]

Also, last week Heckert said there were a few players who they could convert '07 roster bonuses into signing bonuses if they wanted to free up cash. It's just a question if they wanted to spend more now and have less later. He said they generally don't like doing it but an occasional situation may be worth it.

Therefore, McNabb isn't offerring anything of any special benefit. I'm sure when he says restructure he doesn't mean giving up any of his own $.

i was reading the other day that the eagles have the money to sign stallworth but they are choosing not to
