STILL NO DEAL FOR STALLWORTH

Contrary to a report on ComcastSportsNet.com that receiver Donte' Stallworth has a deal with the New England Patriots, Profootballtalk.com has learned that there is no agreement.

ComcastSportsNet.com says that the deal was "confirmed . . . by the office of Drew Rosenhaus, Stallworth's agent."

Well, we tracked down Rosenhaus personally, and he told us:  "There is no deal, and nothing is imminent."

Stallworth visited with the Patriots on Tuesday, and will next visit with the Titans, and then with the Dolphins.  No decision on his next destination is expected until the end of the week, at the earliest.

[UPDATE:  ComcastSportsNet.com has revised its story, calling the reports of a deal 'premature."  In true Tribune-Review fashin, the reference to confirmation from the office of Drew Rosenhaus has been scrubbed out of the story.]

If this farging FO doesn't match a 6/32/12 deal, that's farging rediculous. Not only is that NOT overpaying him, but it's probably underpaying him by a couple milllion. That's a perfect amount to get his services for the next six years, and if they don't offer him about that much, if not a little more, then they're even more retarded then we all know they are.

We all know the Eagles offer was insulting as they all usually are. It takes about 5 offers for them to get to fair price range.

I'd be surprised if anyone was surprised at all this mess. Every offseason it's the same thing.

Jesus... you guys are going to kill me.

I've been away from my computer all day and I log on only to see SD's post that Stallworth signed with NE.  Thank God (for now) that it was all misinformation.

You damn skippy... if/when the time comes Stallworth signs with someone else, it better be for some outrageous amount of money.  At least then, you can understand somewhat why they'd let him walk... even though the Eagles are in a position where they probably need to overpay a bit, IMO.

If they let him walk for 6y/32m/12m... jesus.

rosenhaus is brilliant...dropping rumors of signing....not signing....still available....get him while you can...

and all the while using the patriots (the real gold standard) as his tool...wouldnt be surprised to see tenn or mia come in with a huge offer...something even bigger than the numbers the patriots are supposedly throwing out there which by themselves are great considering the substance abuse issues

Here's what was in Brookover's Wednesday morning column:

1. The Birds did not offerStallworth a contract.

2. The Birds were not the source of the Stallworth drug leak.

3. Rosenhaus asked the Eaglesif they would be amenable to a 1 year deal and they said yes, but they also said they'd like to offer him a multiyear deal.


Here's my take on the other teams' chances:


The Pats have the best chance. If the Eagles' offer is anywhere close to the Pats, we'll see what Stallworth's previous proclamations are worth that he wanted to stay in Philly.

Miami still isn't sold on Culpepper being their QB and are interested in Trent Green, now that KC has told Green he has to take a pay cut and compete for his job.

Tennessee threw a lot of money on Daivd Givens last year--and he missed half the year with knee injuries and he might not play until mid-2007; would they be really smart in throwing money at another WR who might have injury problems? I think they'll go for the hometown player, Robert Meachem, out of UT.

I was beginning to lean against retaining Stallworth if the bonus money was in the 18-20 million dollar range but if the latest offer is as reported (6/32/12) and the Eagles don't match it, they're just being petty.

That's chump change for a guy of Donte's quality.

[Geowhizzer]

Petty?  The Eagles?  Surely you jest.

[SunMo]

the Patriots wanting to sign Stallworth should be all the Eagles need to know.

he won't sign with the Eagles, they'll draft a bunch of players that they'll be excited about, they have a true 7-9, 8-8 team, but due to the division and conference they'll win 10 games, lose in the playoffs, and the season will be considered a success by the 3-headed douchebag of Reid, Banner, and Lurie

[MURP]

the Patriots wanting to sign Stallworth should be all the Eagles need to know.

that was my thinking also.

When you're an ametuer franchise like the Patriots, it's only natural that they would want to model themselves after the NFL's Gold Standard.  And one way to do that is by signing their players.
