fdarugar Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 SAINTS SHOPPING STALLWORTHA league source tells us that the New Orleans Saints currently are shopping former first-round receiver Donte' Stallworth. Stallworth was the thirteenth overall selection in the 2002 draft. He is under contract through 2007, with base salaries of $1.92 million and $545,000 in the final seasons of his rookie deal. The former Tennessee star quietly had his best season in 2005, with 70 catches for 945 yards and seven touchdowns. But he has still fallen far short of the pre-draft hype that surrounded him four years ago. With Stallworth signed through 2007, a contract extension upon acquiring his rights isn't mandatory. However, before giving up a pick or a player for his services, it would make sense to determine whether Stallworth would be happy with the long-term piece of salary cap pie that a new team might be offering. If the Saints move Stallworth, they'll have a significant hole to fill in the starting lineup. Chris Horn has been signed in the offseason, but the team surely would have to go back to the free-agent pool (possibly in search of some post-June 1 cuts) or draft a guy who can make the kind of impact right out of the gates that most folks expected of Stallworth's NFL career. www.profootballtalk.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamingwolf Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I wonder if they could work out a deal with GB for Walker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IBleedBurgundy&Gold1369225669 Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I think Stallworth could be dangerous if his he works on his hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggio Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I wonder if they could work out a deal with GB for Walker? That's actually a great idea.:applause: I don't see why not, they both fill a position of need and I am sure Walker wouldn't mind having Brees throw to him. Maybe if the saints thrown in an extra draft pick as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I remember he was the guy I wanted us to draft in the 02 Draft, Spurrier's first draft. Since we're already set at WR he's no longer a concern. I'm surprised they're shopping him after he just had his best year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamingwolf Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 The Packers arent giving up javon Walker for Dante Stallworth. Theyve gotta do something with him, he sounds like hes completely unhappy there nothing they can do will change that from sounds of it. I dont see a trade out of the question, but like someone else said a draft pick or picks will definately have to be in the fold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Jones Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 The Packers arent giving up javon Walker for Dante Stallworth. Yes, but Stallworth and a draft pick in this years' draft could happen. However, this is PFT and who knows if it is true or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltimateSkins Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Stallworth has been the bane of my fantasy the last two years. I drafted him each year expecting a break out and all I ever seem to get is 800 yards and 6 touchdowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bostic Hog Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 My guess is the Eagles are not interested in a receiver. They are set at that spot already. HTTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoony Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Stallworth seems to have been plagued by an injury bug throughout his career... but he's a helluva talent, and I don't think he's realized even half his potential in NO. In the right situation, Stallworth could easily be the surprise FA of next season... similar to Santana's year here. .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TODD Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Considering he had a better season last year than Brandon Lloyd has ever had, I'll be curious to see what he fetches. I think we'll come to find out we may have paid above market for Brandon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLongshot Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 I remember he was the guy I wanted us to draft in the 02 Draft, Spurrier's first draft. And he was the guy that rumor said that we wanted to trade up to get. Personally, I'm glad we didn't. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daanie Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 talented WR and would be a good trade with that salary...not what WR is a need position for us :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awesome2 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Hahaha, NO WAY are the Saints even thinking of trading him. Joe Horn is like 34/35, so how many seasons does he have left? He was hurt most of last year and really wasn't that good when he played. Who else do they have at reciever? Donte Stallworth is the only guy I can name. He's young, has crazy potential, and is coming off of his best season as a pro; he's starting to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
