NO MARKET FOR STALLWORTH

A league source tells us that there's little or no interest on the open market for receiver Donte' Stallworth, whose tenure with the Patriots is ending after only one season.

A year ago, Stallworth was believed to be one of the hottest free-agent receivers on the market. After languishing on the shelf while the big money flowed, Stallworth signed a long-term contract in New England that was essentially a one-year "prove it" deal.

But Stallworth never got a chance to prove anything, because only a few weeks after he signed the Pats traded for Randy Moss.

One possible destination for Stallworth could be Minnesota, since the Vikings run the same offense as the Eagles, for whom Stallworth had a solid season in 2006. Ditto for the Buccaneers, who seem to be always on the hunt for more pass-catchers.-pft.com

The Oakland Raiders should look into this. Dont break the bank open for this guy, but for a ballclub who needs WR's, this could be a good move.
At least check into this. If they can get him at a fair/reasonable price, could be a good move. He might fit in well with JaMarcus.

I say lets jump on him if the price is cheap.He can just run streak routes all game and let Curry and who ever else catch the short stuff.With his speed and Russells arm i bet he'll get double coverage 90% of the time.Just knowing that JR can throw the ball 80 yards with ease and Stallworths speed will put fear in teams hearts.I say lets do it.

[MileHighRaider]

We are a team desperately in need of WR assistance.

I would be very surprised if we don't lock down at least one reasonably good FA WR by the end of March. There are lots of choices, and we should get a good one without breaking the bank. Then we have options in the draft or further in the FA to round out our squad.

[AutumnWind32]

I don't understand why there wouldn't be a market for him? He may not be a top five WR but he's pretty damn good.

He'd be a nice fit for JR.

[Raider Ran]

If he is willing to sign a reasonable contract sign him up.

I agree. IMO this would be a very nice move if we don't pay him to much.

It would be nice but I bet Moss gave Stallworth an earfull about the Raiders I doubt he would sign, but anything is possible money talks.

At the same time, Stallworth would have then met Moss personally while the latter was spouting his mouth off... that may work in our favor!

Oh if I had a nickel for everytime I heard "but don't break the bank on him"...

[MT/Cali Raider]

definately worth a look but seriously why would anyone come to Oakland without getting BIG money, they certainly wouldn't come here for our winning organization. Only for BIG money.

He's from Sacramento to boot.

[RAIDERZ1000]

He Wasnt The Go To Guy On The Eagles Or The Pats. He Was Only The Decoy On Most Plays. I Think We Would Fit In Well On Our Squad.

I dont know what theu are talking about, I would not be surprised if the Titians grab him up in the next couple weeks.

[FLORIDARAYDAH]

I never thought he was even a decent reciever.We need help badly but he is nothing more than Gabriel IMO.He lost his job to Gaffney,that should sum it up.1 good yearand a lot of nothing.I hope we dont get this desperate
