Seriously though, didn't see this one coming from a mile away. Didn't even realize he was available. I thought it was Houshmanzadeh that was available from the Ravens.

But this makes sense for Stallworth as far as proximity for his family, and makes total sense for the Redskins. They get a veteran, low risk, low cost WR. Much better than breaking the bank on a Holmes. We all want Austin, Hankerson, etc. to step it up but thanks to the lockout they're behind the curve so we need to temper the expectations this year.

I like this move...but I also liked the Roydell Williams move

My enthusiasm is tempered for the rooks...I am just worried about roster spots. Keeping Stallworth is going to make us give up on someone prematurely. Everyone other then Hankerson & Moss could be out on the street from this signing. Hopefully we win some games along the way...but this is a rebuild and i don't like keeping 30 yr olds over 23 year olds unless the 30 year old is great and Stallworth has never been in that category.
