The 2007 Offseason Thread

[SD_Eagle5]

Stallworth's gone which is a damn shame considering how deep, young, and talented our WR position could be for the forseeable future. What sucks even more is what we have now is what we'll have once the season starts, while the money we could have used to sign him will sit there until next offseason. But I'm sure Andy will sign some good backups instead.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Oh well.

[rjs246]

Irate.

[Eaglez]

Yeah. It seems like Reid is 'planting the seed'. His deep threat capabilities will sorely be missed.

[rjs246]

But guys, Baskett had two long TDs this year. He's got all the speed the team needs. Besides, it's all about scheme, not speed. Der.

[Wingspan]

Is there any chance that the Skins let TJ Duckett go considering they have Betts and still have Portis (for now)?

I'd like to see him in Philly. He's the 'big back' everyone would be clamoring for and can pick up tough yards behind that line. Garcia will be back -- he just doesn't want to move. Everyone wants Stallworth back. If those are taken care of I like the prospects of the offense next year.

The D does have the potential to be a disaster. That, more than anything, needs to be the focal point of the offseason. Hopefully getting some competent defensive players will bolster the special teams as well.

I heard from somewhere (i think a DC insider) that the only reason that Duckett is on the taterskins at all was to keep him from going to the eagles, who were making an offer for the guy and the skins upped it at the last minute. This came from DC, i never heard it in the local philly media.

How tricky of them! What cunning tacticians they are! Now he will be available again and the Eagles can pick him up or not if they want and the taterskins will have neither helped their team not kept the Eagles from winning the division. BRILLIANT!

[Wingspan]

that kinda thing was made gibbs good the first time around, when there was no cap. so it's not all that surprising that he'd think it work again.

i don't know how true it is. it's a second hand source, at best.

[rjs246]

Either way, it's an opportunity to make fun of the Skins so I'll take it. I would also take Duckett. For the record.

[Drunkmasterflex]

That little quote there from Reid pretty much is the kiss of death.  It is a real shame they couldn't have gotten something done sooner.  The only way Stallworth could possibly be back is if they get something done before FA.  He is by far the best option in a very weak FA group of WRs.  I guess we can look forward to the Eagles taking another WR in the 3rd round who will probably be cut within the next 3-4 years.

[MURP]

Great, the Eagles finally have a decent pair of WR's and they lose it after ONE fargin season.  Makes me sick.

[Quasimoto]

The only way I'd be happy with not re-signing Stallworth is if we drafted Calvin Johnson.  Which wont happen.  So I wont be happy.

[BigEd76]

So you wanted Andy to say "Stallworth was awesome in the playoffs" while Rosenhaus is listening?

[rjs246]

I want Andy to sign his best receiver, who's done nothing but toe the line since he got here. Instead of pre-emptively dismiss him as an important piece of the offense.

Too late for that though, so I'll settle fo Andy resigning, or walking out into traffic.

[General_Failure]

Andy will never run out into traffic. He'd pass out on the sidewalk.
