They get Donte' Stallworth from the Saints and give up Mark Simoneau and a conditional fourth-round draft pick in 2007. I like the move by the Eagles but I don't understand why the Saints did this.

Because Stallworth SUCKS.

He's not the worst receiver in the world. For the Eagles, he certainly becomes the second-best they got.
 
Come on, BYH...the dude put up some pretty decent numbers last season (70 rec, 7 TD, nearly 1,000 yards).

Exactly. He has some problems with droping the football at times but he still improves the Eagles offense. Now they have someone to go to if Reggie Brown gets double teamed.

P.S. McNabb has made this offense look tremendous during the pre-season. He's done what he does best which is spread the ball around to different recievers. With Stallworth, it's only going to get better for them.

he's started just 33 of 64 games in his career. he's already had hamstring problems this summer. when healthy, though, he's a legit deep threat. too soft to be considered a star.

certainly a good addition for team mcnabb.
 
Stallworth has blinding speed - sub-4.2 when he came out of Tennessee. But he gets more than his share of leg twinges, and hasn't shown signs of taking over a game.

Still, I'm glad the Panthers don't have to chase him down the field at least twice a year anymore.
 
Sean Payton recognizes the Saints had a lot of bad actors the last couple seasons.

(Johnathan Sullivan, Kendyl Jacox, Courtney Watson, etc.)

Evidently he thinks Stallworth is a headache he doesn't need. Cripes, he benched him in a minicamp.

Stallworth has excellent speed and should help the Eagles. He's known for hamstring problems, but I don't ever recall him wearing a cycling helmet while on the stationary bike.

Payton said the draft pick was more important than Simoneau.

He obviously knows the Saints won't be winning anytime soon.

Maybe that's part of Tom Benson's master plan ....

My team is back in business.

I like that Team_McNabb.
 
Wait, let me get this straight, COCKDIAN. You're from Flint, Mich. Your profile touts your Laker fanboy looserdom. You have LaDainian Tomlinson (who plays for another southern California team, the San Diego Chargers) as your avatar. Yet you claim to love the Eagles. What the **** is the matter with you? Do you arbitrarily pick the teams with the best players on them? Are you a Yankees fan?

Kindly go gargle with broken glass and leave us alone.
