It's easy, and only takes a few moments.There's an interesting link at the bottom of Reiss' piece to a Philadelphia paper, where Donte Stallworth says he hopes to stay with the Eagles but names three other sides he could see himself joining, the Pats, Niners and Fins.
Does this mean he's been talking to someone, I wonder?
He missed 4 games with a hamstring problem and was limited in a few others, only making 38 catching ni 12 games. though a few were long ones (19.1 ypc).
He can say what team he'd like to go to, but he can't talk to them until March 2.There's an interesting link at the bottom of Reiss' piece to a Philadelphia paper, where Donte Stallworth says he hopes to stay with the Eagles but names three other sides he could see himself joining, the Pats, Niners and Fins.

Maybe one of these guys can come in and compete for a position but I don't think anyone on the list is a clear cut upgrade over Harrison or Wilson.
I might be crazy but our current mix is not that bad... maybe a FS is brought in to compete with Hawkins and Wilson. Ideally Samuel is locked up and we get lucky with Nelson/Landry sliding down in the draft or maybe we take a flyer on Merriweather otherwise look for a player on Day 2 or a JAG to be brought in to be training camp fodder.
Sign me up for the Deon Grant bandwagon.
How has Hamlin played the last year or two? I remember him being really good earlier in his career.
Thanks for the info. What do you think about Grant, or perhaps the Holt guy from Detroit?Kaesviharn is in and out of the lineup on a poor Bengals defense. Highlight of his year was laying out Caldwell, but its difficult to calculate all the tackles he missed on, and poor angles he took to get to, Maroney.
If James Sanders tackled like Kevin Kaesviharn you'd all want to run him out of town. He's not great enough in coverage to make it up. He's a situational safety and special teamer. We've already got Tebucky Jones on the roster.
As on the FA CBs thread, I am assuming a return to full strength of Rodney, Tebucky, Mitchell, Wilson and Gay. If true, then that leaves us with 3 SSs going forward: Rodney, Sanders and Mitchell.
As for FSs, I would convert the smaller, quicker Wilson and Hawkins to CB, while the bigger, slower Chad Scott moves to FS. That would leave a FS corps of Scott, Tebucky and Rashad Baker (I have Willie Andrews as a CB).
Thanks for the info on Holt. Sounds like he can be passed on. From what I've read and heard about the safeties available, it seems like only Deon Grant and Ken Hamlin would be an upgrade over what we've got, and Hamlin has off-field issues that probably preclude him from joining the Pats.I don't know about Grant, I've never really gotten to see much of him.
Holt is getting pushed out in Detroit in favor of Daniel Bullocks, who was a recent 2nd round pick. Holt doesn't have speed but he plays hard (much like Kaesviharn) and he tackles pretty well (unlike Kaesviharn). Like Kaesviharn he played because no one else demonstrated enough competence to clothe themselves properly and bump into players in the other teams' jersey. I don't think he's better than what we got, though he certainly is younger. Think of him as Artrell Hawkins' younger brother.
