The Official Donte Stallworth Pure Speculation Thread

He's certainly intriguing. He underperformed in New Orleans and developed a reputation for shying away from contact. He obviously did really well in Philly when he was healthy. If we're looking for a #2, he should definitely be in the discussion. If we're looking for a bona fide #1, I would take a pass.

Yeah I don't see him as more than a #2 really. Back in December I wanted Moss at #1 and Reche at #2 with ARE at 3 (and I guess it wouldn't hurt to get Anthony in the Mix)

With the new offensive philosophy, I wonder if Stallworth is a better fit than Caldwell.

Like I said, I'm not saying let's aggressively pursue him. Far from it (save that for Justin Smith :) ), but as you say, he should probably be in the discussion.

I would have liked to seen Reche a little earlier on I think he would have been the #2, when given the action he was solid, putting ARE at the #3 spot. And yes get Anthony in the Mix....NICE! I would like to see what this kid can bring he has the size, JC spoke highly of him and got him in here. And the kid played GREAT on teams, he might just be the answer?

The Pats signed him to a multi year deal, but it was essentially a one year deal with multiple option years.. He's due something like $8 mil. next year without restructuring..

I don't think he's a fit really.. He's too fragile to be counted on for 16 games (sound familiar) and he doesn't fill our need as a bigger #1 WR..

If I remember right there is some option in Stallworth's contract that could make him a free agent this year.

If so-considering his age, size, past performance and experience in the West Coast Offense-do you guys think he's someone worth targeting in free agency this offseason?

I don't think we should aggressively pursue him. But I think we should see how the market plays out and wouldn't be opposed if the chips fell in such a way that he was a Redskin in 2008.

He is not a #1 WR, and has proven so. So why pursue him at all? Either we go after a #1, (or potential #1 in the draft) or stick with what we have and give Mix a shot.

Is the vet minimum joke still funny?

Of course. Always

Does it make sense at this point to nab a receiver if he's not going to be our #1 guy? I think Gtripp raises a good point...

We've got a shmorgusboard of non #1 talent, so I think we stay put there. Unless we don't break the bank, I'm not on the Stallworth bandwagon.

He's good, but he's basically the same guy we already have in Moss and Randle El. I'd rather have a bigger posession receiver.

Agreed. We already have an abundance of undersized receivers. Hopefully we'll get another jump ball catching, tall receiver in the draft to help complement Cooley.

Im not mad at ya,but what about randy moss?Is it possible?



I hope we continue the Gibbs way of having good character guys. Randy Moss certainly wouldn't fit the bill in that regard.

I thought a couple years ago in Philly when he was healthy Stallworth proved he could be a #1 WR. I would love to have him or Roy Williams from Detroit if the rumors of him being available are true.
