Default Possible MidSeason Trade???

Say we keep Donte Stallworth Healthy. He is obviously a talent, but hasnt been able to do much for this team due to the presence of moss/welker...

Could perhaps Kelly Washington and Chad Jackson fill his shoes, and we trade Stallworth to say Houston for a second draft choice? Houston is HURTING for Recievers, and Stall is on a Team Friendly Deal. Imagine if houston had Andre Johnson and Donte Stallworth Lined up on opposite sides of the field? Especially against the Colts???

I think it would help ease the loss of our first rounder, and allow us to still have a ton of first day picks....

I think Stall is going to have a monster game in Cincinnati....that might only help us out...in trading him...

This isn't baseball Beau where all the contenders reshuffle the deck chairs come deadline. It's a long way from the football trading deadline to the Superbowl, and championships are won and lost in December and January. Stallworth remains our #2 WR for this season and our #1 for next season or if Randy pulls that hammy or draws double and triple teams in December. Washington remains a ST'er who couldn't crack the top 4 of our WR unit either and was inactive due to injury in week 3. And our #2 and #3 pick from 2006 has yet to attend a TC for whatever reasons.

We still have SF's first rounder and a full slate of day 1 picks. We had 2 first round picks last season and we traded out of one and could only fit 2 draft picks on the roster this season. Our #1 WR from last season got cut when he couldn't crack this roster and nobody was willing to trade a late day 2 pick for him.

Draft picks are great and serve a purpose. But in season the bottom line is winning a championship THIS SEASON.

This whole Donte Stallworth trade talk is crap.. I know he is not having monster numbers like moss, but cmon... He is going to be heard from by the end of the yr.. I just think Moss and Brady are on a different page.. Stallworth will be a player by the end of the yr..

Why would you want to trade Stallworth? If Moss or Welker gets hurt we need him. Trading him would be stupid. We have a full deck of picks plus and extra third rounder. Yea we lost the extra first. But we still have more picks then a lot of teams.

The fact that he is on a team friendly deal, in my opinion, completely takes the possibility of trading him away (this season) off the table.

Imagine if you wanted to work for a company, they wanted to hire you, but you really didnt need the salary to survive, so you say "You know what, you can only pay me half what you think I should get, and put the other half to use hiring somemore people". Now if you were this nice to them, and they f'ed you over by transferring you to their texas office when you wanted to stay in boston, you'd be pissed. I imagine Stallworth would feel the same. The only difference is, most of us would never voluntarily take less than what we can make to work for a specific employer.

If we trade Stallworth, or Moss this year.....I can guarantee you that we won't be seeing any more players take bargain pay in the near future to play for us, since they'll be that aura of "Oh, they'll just use me to get trading chips".

Remember, Stallworth didnt take a lower than open market one year salary to play for houston. He took it to play for the patriots. I think trading him is puts the team in bad faith. Now, if we don't want him, I think cutting him is fair game since he could then go out and get the one year full market value contract. But we do want him, so its a non issue.

Stallworth might become important as the season moves on. They're going to have to shut down Moss and even Welker. Stallworth might become the target as we get deeper into the season.

I just think it is way too early to start talking trade for Stallworth.

He is going to have that big game that will make us all love him, but more importantly, he is always there as a legit deep threat if teams lay too heavy on coverage for Moss.

To me, for that alone, he is worth keeping.
