Donte' Stallworth

You would be correct if the "error" was only in one post.


Moving on, PFT's latest on Stallworth:

STALLWORTH DEAL COMING FRIDAY?

Look for receiver Donte' Stallworth to have a new deal in place by Friday.

Per a league source, Stallworth is expected to pull the trigger on a new contract by then.  Barring an unforeseen development, such as a late arrival into the bidding for his services, Stallworth likely will have a new team by Saturday.

Stallworth, who played in 2006 with the Eagles, has visited with the Patriots and Titans, and will meet with the Dolphins on Friday.  There are conflicting reports as to whether the Eagles have extended an offer to him.

EAGLES DIDN'T LEAK STALLWORTH'S STATUS IN PROGRAM

Though some members of the media, and some league insiders, believe that the person who first publicly reported the status of receiver Donte' Stallworth in the league's substance abuse program got his information from the Eagles, we can report with 100 percent certainty that we got the news via someone other than the Eagles, and that the person who shared the news with us didn't get it from the Eagles.

Indeed, the information was already "out there" well before Bob Brookover of the Philadelphia Inquirer reported on the subject earlier this week.

And the publication of the information didn't affect Stallworth's value on the market, since teams are entitled to find out whether a free agent is in the program.

But since it's now harder for teams to recover signing bonus money when a suspension occurs, look for the squad that signs Stallworth to include some protections against the possibility that Stallworth eventually will be suspended.

You guys crying becuas ethey get in the playoffs and not the Super Bowl are crazy rediculous. 

Even though it hurts each year, I'd rather have that then be part of a team fan base that gets to look forward to going 6-10 or worse each and every season.

in 2001 and 2002 i was estatic with 10-6 and the playoffs...not now...not after theyve been so close for so many years and have done nothing outside of the TO year to take that extra step

and if their lack of imporvements send them to sub 500 records for the next few years then my expectations will lower and ill will again be happy with a 10-6 record

when you suck the expectation for improvement to a good team should exist...when youre good the expectation to be very good should be there and when youre on the cusp of a championship the expectation should be by all means necessary win the god damn thing....

More from Brookover.link

Conflicting reports were circulating about the wide receiver. In the end, he still could return to Philadelphia.

[ice grillin you]

yeah and he could retire

I don't disagree with what you've said.  As the team gets better, expectations should rise.  But, not winning the whole god damn thing does not mean they are an inferioe product, and that the team sucks.  Continuing to say so, after years of playoffs and winning records is crazy talk.  They didn't meet your expectations of being the one team to outlast the other 31 -- they are still a good team, winning more than they lose, and giving you, the fan, the opportunity to enjoy at least a third of a year more than at least half the other NHL cities.

i never said they were inferior and whoever did is a moron

They aren't inferior to the league, but the team is inferior to what it could be. Meaning basically that the team isn't as good as it should be. That is what I meant what I said inferior. Should've been clearer.

the opportunity to enjoy at least a third of a year more than at least half the other NHL cities. 

That was an obvious typo but I still chuckled.   

[Father Demon]

Typo and all, I think it's still true!

According to Les Bowen in this morning's philly.com, Stallworth left Tennessee without a deal. He says that he may have to accept a 1 year offer and re-enter FA next year.

[Munson]

Then godfargingdamnit, the Eagles have said they'd be willing to negotiate on a long term deal...so farging do it already. The Eagles have some farging balls letting him dangle out there and no one has given him an offer to jump on. They've proven the point that he's not as valuable as he thought, now get the deal done.

I have to say I'm quite surprised. In the same Bowen article, it says that Rosenhaus envisioned getting him anywhere from 10-15M in a bonus--no one knows what he's been offered, but apparently, it hasn't bowled him over. I think Tennessee, having been burned by the Daivd Givens experience last year, was maybe reluctant to offer him a big deal given his erractic injury history.

Miami doesn't yet know who their QB will be yet, as reports have them interested in Trent Green, plus Cameron is saying he's going to build a ground attack similar to what he had in SD. That doesn't bode well for someone who wants to catch a lot of passes to build up his value.

[ice grillin you]

hed rather do a one year with brady and blow up this year than sign a long term deal with the eagles...its probably a smart risk to take

[General_Failure]

If he does a one year deal to have a chance to show off to the league, he's gone. If I were him, I wouldn't want another repeat of last season at all.
