Pats To Pass On Stallworth Option

MatthewT · 02-17-2008, 10:23 PM

Do you guys think Donte' could be that number 2 guy that the Saints are lacking? Me personally, I would love to see him back, and think he would be a perfect number 2 guy. What are your thoughts?

A league source tells us that the New England Patriots already have advised receiver Donte' Stallworth that they won't be picking up the $6 million option due to be paid to him on or before February 25.

As a result, the Pats will be required to cut Stallworth by 4:00 p.m. EST on Friday, February 22. Unless, of course, they work out a new deal with him before then.

Stallworth was signed by the Pats before the team acquired Randy Moss. The decision not to keep Stallworth suggests that the team will retain Moss, possibly by applying the franchise tag to him and then trying to work out a long-term deal.

The deadline for applying the franchise tag is February 21.

He is leaving NE because of dropped passes. Moss has nothing to do with it.

Boooooooo! No way Jose. Steer clear. Not with a ten foot pole. Not in a million years.

This guy's "worth" has definitely "stalled"......Get it!!??

No doubt we do not need recievers. I think we can develop what we have and make Bush that 2nd reciever. and I was so happy we got rid of Stallworth. He is very inconsistent and thinks He is worth more than He is. He is a T.O. /Moss wan-a-be.
