The Official Donte Stallworth Pure Speculation Thread

SmootSmack · 02-04-2008, 06:33 PM

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'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.

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.

I doubt very seriously Moss is getting out of Pats country.

i'm not so sure...the pats aren't known for paying up...that said, I think Randy gives them a home town discount...finish what they started type deal...
didn't the '72 dolphins lost in the superbowl in '71? could get scaring next year for the AFC.

He doesn't really make us any better. Sure we could sign him and end up releasing Mix, but he's going to get PT at the expense of ARE or Moss and that's not really an improvement. Just a costly lateral move.

Exactly.

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..

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.
