I think you missed my point, Whodi. I like Stallworth. I would not even ponder trading him just for the sake of trading. My point from the beginning of this thread is that we have need areas I think we could address by trading him (CB, LB, DT, or heck-even another safety

. The last one was a joke by the way). Now if we could get a talent for him at one of those needs positions, I'm all for it. If not, no way do I want to trade him. His stock is high on the trade market now & this could be our chance to bolster the defense. I'm not saying Haas or Colston can be Stallworth right away (although something about Colston makes my hair stand up when I think of his upside). And...yes, I read the part about Colston having to learn different routes. The guy played at Hofstra for Christ's sakes. I doubt very seriously that they had a complex offense.
Here's a quote from West coach Dennis Franchione after the East-West Shrine Game.......

"The best player on the East side was Hofstra WR Marques Colston. Colston has tremendous size for the WR position, and has excellent body control. He knows how to use his size, and his ability to go up and get the ball is very impressive. He had five catches for 82 yards and a touchdown on the game, and came within a yard of winning the game for the East with eight seconds left. He caught a jump ball at the one yard line and gave his team one more shot to win the game, but the East was stopped at the two and the game was over. Colston may have improved his stock as much as anyone in this game. His size and body control are definitely NFL caliber. If he can post some impressive workout numbers, he will be a big riser come April."
