  I agree with you ck, he is not the number one that we are looking for, Curtis is better than him..better hands, moves, and can stay healthier.

  I think Stallworth is gone. With the contract he signed with the Patriots it seems like the Pats had an idea they could possibly strike a deal for Moss and believed in the development of Chad Jackson.
  
  My opinion is that Moss will be resigned and and with Moss on one side and Welker in the slot, it will allow Jabar Gaffney, Chad Jackson or kelley Washington to compete for the other outside spot and the #4 spot.
  
  If Chad Jackson can develop it seems like he is a similar type of player to Stallworth, in terms of what his role is, using his speed to stretch the defense out. It also helps his cause that while he and Moss were hurt in camp, Moss took a liking to him.
  
  Gaffney would make a hell of a 4th receivers who can present many options to Brady and I really think Kelley Washington earned the respect of the coaches for accepting the role of special teams ace and never complaining. He will be given every shot to win a spot in the receiver rotation.

    Very good points. Good reasoning; and that's why Stallworth is expendable along with his big contract.

  i think he's gone. no way the pats pay him that money, they need to save money for a cb, to get younger at linebacker and to fix the offensive line.

  PATS TO PASS ON STALLWORTH OPTION
  
  A league source tells us that the New England Patriots already have advised receiver Donte' Stallworth that they won't be picking up the $6 million option due to be paid to him on or before February 25.
  
  As a result, the Pats will be required to cut Stallworth by 4:00 p.m. EST on Friday, February 22. Unless, of course, they work out a new deal with him before then.
  
  Stallworth was signed by the Pats before the team acquired Randy Moss. The decision not to keep Stallworth suggests that the team will retain Moss, possibly by applying the franchise tag to him and then trying to work out a long-term deal.
  
  The deadline for applying the franchise tag is February 21.

  The money is far better spent on Randy Moss,

    But...Stallworth does have value. He is one of the toughest receivers in the league to bring down after the catch, he has great speed to get downfield, he excellent in the redzone (which is much needed) and he would be a very good one-two with curtis. Stallworth is an upgrade over Brown as well.
    
    Picking up Stallworth and possible Javon Walker (if/when he is released) would be an upgrade in the position. No it's not like getting a marquee number 1 WR like Chad Johnson or Fitz or Moss or whoever, but Stallworth, Curtis, Walker, Brown along with LJ Smith and Celek; plus Westbrook out of the backfield would be plenty of weapons on the Eagles offense. Not to mention, it wouldn't cost them as much as it would to chase a marquee player.
    
    I'm all for giving Moss a "offer-that-can't-be refused" and signing Stallworth, basically duplicating the Pats offense (except the Eagles would have a upgrade at TE); sending a 3 rounder to ATL for D'angelo Hall (they are cleaning house and would probably take it); moving Brown to CB; and sending the 2nd and 4th to Miami for Jason Taylor (due to their string of cuts, they are obviously cleaning house).
    If I was the GM, I would make these moves if I was trying to win and win now...but will it happen? Well nothing is impossible, but plenty is improbable.

      There are going to be several teams looking to sign these free agent receivers. Should be a good bidding war for some of them.
      • Keep5Alive replied February 18, 2008

        Some teams are going to have major bucks to sign people with, just like San Fran last year. On the other hand a team like the Redskins is $20 million over the cap. There will for sure be some cap casualties there.
      • FIVERINGS replied February 18, 2008

        Yeah......the new coach of the Redskins is going to have his job cut out for him. Send Santana Moss on over to the Cowboys.

    LOL someone THUMBED ME DOWN a point LMAO!!!!!!! well good morning & thank you whomever did that ;) !!
    
    
    STILL not a fan of Stallworth, thumb down me all ya want babes, he's NOT the man for the EAGLES!!!!!!
• Justwannawinna said February 18, 2008

  agreed stallworth isnt what we need we need a #1 guy who'll impact the whole league. Donte is a solid number two but our QB wants and deserves a Number 1 WR
