View Full Version : OT: Eagles acquire Donte Stallworth

He filled in well for Joe Horn in New Orleans, so the Eagles are hoping Donte' Stallworth can fill some big shoes in Philadelphia.
On Monday, the Eagles acquired the veteran wide receiver from the Saints for a conditional fourth-round draft pick in 2007 and linebacker Mark Simoneau. The trade is pending both players passing physicals with their new teams.
Stallworth caught a career-high 70 passes last season for 945 yards and seven touchdowns. The Saints' top receiver, Horn, missed a number of games with a hamstring injury, forcing New Orleans to look for alternatives. Stallworth stepped up, but with the return of Horn and the arrival of Saints first-round pick Reggie Bush -- who is expected to get plenty of touches -- the five-year veteran out of Tennessee became expendable.
He'll be counted on for plenty in Philadelphia, which has been searching for a reliable receiver since Terrell Owens was broke his leg last December. In the offseason, the controversial Owens was moved, ending up in Dallas. The Eagles' depth chart lists Todd Pinkston, who missed all of 2005 with a torn Achilles, and second-year player Reggie Brown as the starting wide receivers.
Simoneau is a seven-year veteran out of Kansas State.

DAMNIT, that leaves only Branch for the Vikings to take a shot at, but that downs Reggie Brown's fantasy stock quite a bit.

It's a good pick up but when you actually say it out loud you can't help bit chuckle a lil bit.
The Eagles #1 WR is Donte Stallworth.

I'm not so sure Donte is our #1. I think that role might be Reggie Browns. He knows the offense better and him and McNabb got all that practice together during off-season. Hey, I remember 2 or 3 seasons ago Donte wasn't even starting for the saints. Was he injured that season? I know he was returning kicks at the end of the season.
This seems like a "cheap" move by the Eagles. It's good, but we could have got better (Lelie, Walker, Branch).

If Donte Stallworth is your #1 Wide Reciever then you are in huge trouble. He has blazing speed but none of the characteristics that make a reciever great.

Stallworth has great speed and nothing else...Pinkston is better than Stallworth
Reggie Brown is the Eagles #1 WR, not Stallworth! And Stallworth has talent and can do what Todd Stinkston FAILED to do. Stallworth role as an Eagle will be exactly what Todd did as an Eagle. He's definately gonna take it deep, post routes. Its a great pickup considering what they would have been left with had they NOT gone after a WR.
I hear NE is asking for 2 first round picks for Deion. Truth?
Todd Pinkston hasnt recovered from his injury. Undrafted rookie free agent has been a plesant surprise among the Eagles brass, staff but he is unproven and going into a season with Baskett as your #2 is scary. Stallworth gives the Eagles stability. I love the deal, didnt give up much for him. He's better then Lelie and under Javon Walker (whom I wanted).
Problems with Stallworth? Guys drops alot of passes, inconsistent and just needs to MATURE as a WR. Comig off his best season I think he could find himself in a great situation. And being in a contract year may give him even more inscentive to produce. Anyone saying Pinkston is BETTER then Stallworth isnt very bright.
Eagles are good to go. :cheers:

Great pick up. I feel like Brown and Greg Lewis are nice already for the Eagles, don't like Pinkston too much he's a *****. But Donovan is such a great QB, that I feel they have enough quality receivers to make their offense work, especially in the West Coast.
The Eagles are going to surprise this year, Donovan IMO is the best QB in the league. And their defense looks like its back to form.
They don't have a great number 1, maybe Brown or someone else will emerge. But with their QB and their coaching and offensive style, their offense definately has enough really good receivers to go with Westbrook and LJ Smith to make their offense strong.

DL is straight and the depth they have is damn good! Just a bit leary on the OLB's. We got the axe man in the middle but on the outside? Ehhh
Darren Howard will make clipse eat his phucking words! GUy is gonna have a big year. This DL is ready to kick ass, take names and make that DB look like the pro bowl secondary it once was for the most part.

On a some what side note do people now agree with me that the Saints will stink again this season? Even though they have the Greatest RB Ever to Play Football in Reggie Bush.

who were the eagles WRs before they got TO. exactly..their WR core right now is better..and back then they made it to 3 straight nfc championship games. and mcnabb has shown hes capapable of leading a team. eagles wont be disappointing.
probably an 11-5 or 12-4 record sounds right. #5 for mvp possibly

Ive always been a fan of Dhani Jones as a linebacker. I think they'll be fine there too. With their DL and their secondary and the "axe man" in the middle they'll be good especially with Johnson calling the plays.

The only QBs that are in the argument are McNabb, Payton, Brady, McNair, Palmer, and Culpepper.
Culpepper I just threw in
McNair is always hurt
Palmer, nah but is very good
Payton, probably most people's pick, but the guy has all of those weapons and last year that wasn't even enough to go along with a good defense. He's not mobile at all, just has a great line to buy him time.
Brady is a system QB, top 5, but not that damn impressive. I'd rank him, just that, 5. Good passer and decision maker though
McNabb is a great pocket passer, throws a very strong and accurate deep ball like Payton, except he can do it on the run. He can buy himself 5 seconds even without a great line. And I don't think there is an offense that relies so much on one man. Some people say Payton because of all his checks. But McNabb has a coach that doesn't like to run the ball, or didn't last year or the year before. A good but not great offensive line, and very solid group, but no superstars at receiver. He's the absolute total package.
Mcnabb is not the best QB in the league. Please stop.

Stacked? Brooks, Walter and now George. Odd man out Tui :rolleyes:

Stallworth's an upgrade from Freddie Mitchell, I guess... Trade could potentially be better for Philly if Stallworth consistently plays the way he played last year. If he struggles, then I guess it's only Simoneau and a 4th. On the other side, New Orleans gets a good deal here. While I am skeptical of trading Stallworth, I think they did get some value out of that trade. The fourth rounder will give them a pick to build around Reggie with. Hopefully they use it on someone like Matt Spaeth or Joe Newton, but they aren't likely to slip that far. Maybe use it for some depth on defense. Simoneau is a solid backer that could be the tape holding the broken linebacking core together. I think he could make an impact opposite Colby Bockwoldt and could help the run defense.
I get a negative rep with a comment "go eagles"? :rolleyes:

Love the pickup for the Eagles. Considering they only gave up Simoneau and a 4th to get Stallworth, it's well worth the risk. Only Branch is left. And no, I don't think the Eagles should have traded a high draft pick for Javon. This upcoming draft boasts one of the deepest wide-receiving and running back corps. It's conceivable to pick up someone like Dwayne Jarret in the second round. The Eagles aren't going to pay a veteran when they can just draft something younger and cheaper in the next year.

D.Jarrett wont EVER last 2nd round unless he is hurt or goes to jail. First round pick.

Mcnabb is not the best QB in the league. Please stop.
Nobody has yet to tell me why not? Nobody has the total package like him, including accuracy.
Accurate? Mcnabb throws the most ankle balls among QB's. And you're saying he has great accuracy? :roll: Guy has 1yr where he completed over 60% of his passes. Why is that since he is such a great pocket passer? Tom Brady has great accuracy not Mcnabb. Mcnabb has improved his accuracy and is much better now than he was 4yrs ago. But great acurracy? Get real.
Tom Brady, Manning and Carson Palmer are the top 3 QB's.

I like the move
low risk/high reward type move... I would have rather snatched up Deion Branch, or Javon Walker.... but I hear the Pats are asking too much & this kid is a real good pick up for what we gave up....Siminoeu was OK but he was too small and couldnt consistantly do the things we needed of him..He just had a lot of speed...
I think we still need a Rb.... and a quality Lb.... get those, and we'll roll
:cheers:

Yeah NE wants a first round pick. GB wanted a 2nd round pick. But the catch was both WR's wanted new deals ontop of it all. Eagles thought a high pick plus giving them a deal was too much.
I'm not mad at this move at all. Like you said low risk/high reward.

Tom Brady, Manning and Carson Palmer are the top 3 QB's.
If he throws the most ankle balls its because he was doing it on the run the most. Until TO got there he had no real WR options, pretty much had a bunch of 3rd options and not even a star tight end. He got one, and he did things no other has done before (30tds, less than 10 int). And it was more than just T.O. as he was very accurate in the playoffs too.
And there's no way Palmer is better than McNabb right now.

Palmer is a better pocket passer and Mcnabb has thrown ankle balls in the pocket. Sorry man but i dont see how you can say his accuracy is great when Mcnabb even with TO has made fans cringe at his throws. He's done a better job in the accuracy department but when you compare him to Brady, Manning, Palmer? Nah. Mcnabb may be able to do things with his legs these guys cant but when it comes to throwing? I dont rank Mcnabb top 3. Top 5 as far as QB's but not top 3. Tom Brady sure has played with a bunch of T.Owens too. :rolleyes:
*checks his compl %*
Wow!
Y2Gezee
08-29-2006, 03:21 PM
Brady didnt have a bunch of 3rd options neither. Branch is a upper tier receiver, not a elite one, but very very good. Had 800 yards his second season. Superbowl MVP. Add him their other good receivers and that's a very very good receiving corp.
Prior to T.O. what did Donovan have? Thrash and Pinkston and the People's champ. Come on. But that year with T.O. Terrell was the only option as compared to Palmer's Chad Johnson, and T.J., well he still had a better passer rating.
And I think this year when healthy, he'll be over 60% again as even though he doesn't have as good a receiving corp as those other guys.
And as a whole has never ever ever had as good a total receiving corp, including with T.O. as any of those other guys you rank ahead of him. And if Payton didn't have a great rating, he should be shot with the offense he has.
And I don't see him throwing any ankle balls unless he's running forward.
Gobb, McNabb doesn't throw the most ankle balls in the NFL. He doesn't do that nearly as much as he used to. The only time he does that is when the pocket fails him.

McNabb is a much better Qb than Aaron Brooks.... Brooks is a meathead.. Good line or not, brooks looks like he can barely read an NFL defense half the time....
In other news, Wide Receiver Todd Pinkston and Place Holder Koy Detmer were cut.
AJ Feeley was also re-signed.
