Redskins sign WR Donte’ Stallworth to a 1 year deal

[Schneed10]

Well it's not like Hankerson, Paul, Robinson, Austin and Banks won't get a shot to show what they have in training camp and in preseason. Shanahan will give them a look and see what they've got; if they don't look promising then practice squad or peace out. Or if they beat out Stallworth, even better.

Stallworth has speed and lots of it. You can't hate that.

I dont like having him on the roster at all. Lets not forget that he killed someone with his drunk driving and spent only 30 days in jail for it. Not that that effects his ability to catch a pass but I still dont like it.

[Schneed10]

Keep in mind Stallworth didn't play in 2009 because of the whole DUI thing, and last year he played in 8 games and had only 2 catches.

In 2008 he played in 11 games for the Browns and had only 10 catches.

So not only is it possible he won't make the team, I think it's quite probable he won't make the team.

in fact last year Reggie Wayne and Miles Austin had more dropped passes

Probably because they had more targets?

The roster needs to be at 90 for camp, guys. Signing Stallworth doesn't mean we're out of the running for other free agents (he's on a one year, low cost deal, which screams "camp body" to me), nor does it mean the rookies don't get their chance. It means we need 90 bodies for camp, and Mike doesn't mind giving vets a shot to make the team...but even with that, I don't think he'll make it.

It's a one year deal for what is essentially pennies and Stallworth is a veteran in a season where they're trusting A LOT of rookies to come in and compete. Let's not panic, here.

Not sure why everyone is so worried about our WR's because I'm not sold on any of our QB's capable of getting them the ball or a O line that can give a QB the time to throw the ball.

[Skins4L]

Hey why not.

Besides Santana & an unproven Rookie in Hankerson we really had nobody.

I don't like this move. Looks like training camp fodder. He was out of football last year. Relatively old for a wide receiver and slow. Looks like another Larry Johnson, Shawn Alexander or Joey Galloway signing.

He was with the Ravens last year. He's only 30 years old.

[SirClintonPortis]

He's 30, not 33. He's just a camp body for now.

I don't get this move at all. Stallworth has pretty much been an underachiever his whole career. I know it's low risk but get the young guys on the field. Who cares if they make mistakes? Does MS realize that this isn't a playoff team?

[skinsfaninok]

It's cool man, as for Stallworth? I don't see him making the team. AA is better and Moss and Hank will be here obviously. Plus I still see another WR signing coming
