    Donte Stallworth as a Bill?

    I hope this isnt already posted but I couldnt find it. I heard on ESPN a few days ago (and found the older link below) that Stallworth might well be gone from the Pats next year due to a high cap figure that will only climb.

    I wonder what it would take to sign him if he became available? He is 6'0" but I feel that he plays like the large type of receiver that we need. What do you guys think... could he be a fit here if released?


    "Stallworth will receive an initial signing bonus of $1 million, a roster bonus of $1.6 million and a $300,000 workout bonus, to go along with his 2007 base salary of $700,000. That totals $3.6 million for the coming season.

    It's after the 2007 season, however, when the really big money could kick in."

    Pats continue spending spree, get WR Stallworth

    The Patriots continued their offseason spending spree, adding wide receiver Donte' Stallworth to their 2007 haul.

    Not for $3.6 million. To me, he's not the big 2nd receiver we need.
    Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

      He would be better then any other WR we have on this team besides EVANS.....That would be a good 1-2 punch and for $3 mill, not so bad.....

        If he is released that number can be reworked... I dont think 3 Mill is unreasonable (It costs more to get players to sign here)

          He would surely be an upgrade.

            At 6'0, 200 lbs, he's just barely bigger than the smurfs we have now. I'd like a bigger, red zone-type receiver for that kind of money.

              He'd be a great pick up only if the Bills got him and a guy like Wilford

                He's not the savior everyone is looking for, but a HUGE, IMMEDIATE upgrade over Price. He probably would have sucked in our offense last year, though.

                  If the price is right and if that is not the end of our efforts to upgrade at WR. We still need a big guy.
                  I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.

                  I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

                    Stallworth doesn't play like a big WR. However, he has the speed and athleticism to get open and is one of the better WR in the NFL running after making the catch.

                    Run after catch is probably his best attribute. The guy has great open field moves and quickness, and is great on screen plays and quick-hitting plays.

                    That said, he wasn't as consistent as you would like this year, and late in the season he lost playing time to Jabar Gaffney.

                    I think Gaffney is going to be a real steal for some team, if the Pats don't re-sign him. I hope they keep him over Stallworth. Gaffney doesn't have Stallworth's athleticism, but he has good size, runs good routes, had great hands and is very productive given the amount of snaps he plays.

                      I agree with NE39, he is a bit of an enigma. Not bad, just very inconsistent.

                      I wouldn't be against him coming here, but I think we would all be pulling our hair out over his play.

                        He is capable of making some electric plays, both catching the ball and running with it. I just think he needs to make them more often.

                          Thats kind of his career, isnt it?
                          I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
                          "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
                          You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
                          It was all                           true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
                          He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can                           mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

                              He signed a 2 Yr/$4.3M deal with the 49ers with a $2M SB last year. He is under contract with them for another season. He didn't play well last year, but he struggled with a quad injury all season. As weak as they are at WR, I doubt they cut him.
