Donte' Stallworth

[phillywin2k5]

Looking at the numbers in the deal, it's kind of obvious that the Eagles had absolutly no intentions of getting Stallworth back. The hamstring problems were bad enough, then you have the drug violation on top of that, and I'd say Reid said no way.

Not that I wouldn't want him for one year when the alternative is Reggie Brown, Greg Lewis, Hank Baskett and Jason Avant. Thats just terrible. Same as Thrash and Pinkston and whoever.

Still, I'm not going to crucify the front office for not signing Stallworth. There are too many questions with his ability to play for a full season. It's not like you can't expect him to have hamstring problems, and who knows about a possible suspension? He might play 16 games, and he might play eight games.

If anything, I'll say that Ried sucks major ass at drafting a reciever. Why hasn't this orginization been able to draft anyone who is a decent compliment to D-mac?? It seems he's so damn full of himself that he thinks the system is so great it takes average recievers and makes them pro-bowlers. I just don't understand.

The only thing now that would make me happy this offseason is if they could draft a burner like Ted Ginn Jr. or make a blockbuster deal to move up and draft and get Calvin Johnson.

It just sucks major ass that at this point we're looking at having to go through another season of no major threat at reciever. It's a curse. First TO and now Stallworth with his injuries and violations.

guess with his sons being on drugs that was enough for Reid to close the door on Stallworth! Looks like with the defensive demise with the front seven and now back to a bunch of mediocre WRs looks like the Eagles are back to the middle of the pack

this is all my fault.  i was at my local supermarket last night and saw The Sporting News Draft Guide and bought it.  first thing I did when I got home was turn right to the wide receiver rankings.  must have been an omen.  all my fault.

Although not as well known, Johnnie Lee Higgins out of UTEP would be an awesome pick in the 3rd round. One of the fastest players in the draft. He was probably an early 2nd rounder before the combine but only ran a 4.48 40 time so he's dropping. He'd be a much better value pick than someone like Rice, Hill or Gonzalez.

Here's the contract the Eagles wouldn't beat:

Patriots | Stallworth contract update
Sun, 11 Mar 2007 09:25:40 -0800

Updating a previous item, Michael Smith and Len Pasquarelli, of ESPN.com, report the New England Patriots have agreed to terms with free agent WR Donte' Stallworth (Eagles) on a six-year, $33.1 million contract. The deal, however, can be as short as one year or as long as six seasons. Stallworth will receive an initial signing bonus of $1 million, a roster bonus of $1.6 million and a $300,000 workout bonus, to go along with his 2007 base salary of $700,000, totaling $3.6 million for the 2007 campaign. However, for the team to retain Stallworth for the 2008 season, they must pay him an option bonus of $6 million by Feb. 25. Also, a subsequent roster bonus of $2 million would be due March 1, as well as a second roster bonus of $1.6 million based on playing time, a base salary of $1 million and a $400,000 workout bonus. Stallworth would earn $11 million for 2008, or a two-year total of $14.6 million. If the Patriots were to keep Stallworth for 2009, they would have to pay a $2 million option bonus by Feb. 25 of that year. Including terms of bonuses and base salary, Stallworth would earn $5 million in 2009, for a three-year total of $19.6 million. The final three seasons of the contract include workout bonuses of $500,000 each and base salaries of $4 million each.

He's worth that and then some.  Tom Brady is a happy guy today.

It's times like this that make me flat out hate this team.

[hbionic]

The Eagles FO is farging rediculous. What the farg are they saving their money for? They really must hate McNabb.

He's the loser in all of this. In almost 8 season, only 2 of those can he say he had some kind of threat at receiver. That is farging retarded.

Like someone said earlier...we're one injury away to Brown from warping back to Pinkston/thrash receiver threat level.

[hbionic]

Also, times like these makes me wish we had Dan Snyder.

Never win a Superbowl with this front office.

What a joke. I hope Stallworth has a career year for the Pats this year. The best year of any WR ever.

[shorebird]

My big beef is this, if they weren't going to sign Stallworth, then what is the backup plan?? We won't really know until the end of the offseason, but Reid is foolish if he is ok with the receivers we now have. We are right back to were we were 5 years ago.

As it stands now at this point, we've gone backwards. Get a damn reciever and a mlb damn it!!

[The BIGSTUD]

We have Avant! How can you not like Avant?!

Change your tagline under your avatar.  It was obviously a jinx in the first place.


I will laugh my penis off (hopefully not literally) if the Eagles sign Curtis to a deal bigger than Stallworth's.  That said, considering Stallworth is no longer an option, I like that plan a lot more than going into the season with some combination of Baskett, Avant, Greg Lewis, Billy Sampy, Gasperson, J.J. Outlaw, Troy McClure, Jack Palance, Na Brown, Bethel Johnson, Jeremy Bloom, and Helen Mirren bucking for roster position under Reggie Brown.

Here's a fun question:  Name the starters if Reggie Brown gets injured.
