Da Bears 88 Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 NFL Network's Adam Schefter reports the Browns have reached agreement with Donte' Stallworth. Terms aren't known yet, but it's a great fit for both sides. Cleveland gets depth and speed at wideout, while Stallworth fits best as a supporting player. He'll make the Browns tough to defend lining up with Braylon Edwards, Kellen Winslow, and Joe Jurevicius. His fantasy numbers should uptick from his Pats days because he'll see the field more, but don't expect his first 1,000-yard season. Link Cross another WR off the list.

Bears4Ever_34 Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Kind of weird considering their defense is the main problem. Now they have three legit WR's in Edwards, Winslow, and Stallworth oh my! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balta1701-A Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 3 yrs 10 million. Peace Ok, even I'll grant, if that's the contract, it's really, really sad that the Bears didn't make him a better offer. And that's coming from one of those people who thinks the FA period hurts more teams than it helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We either thought he isn't better than Rashied Davis or he didn't want to come here because that is peanuts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connorbear Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 We either thought he isn't better than Rashied Davis or he didn't want to come here because that is peanuts... Maybe we felt he doesn't bring to the table what we need. Too me he is the same type of receiver Hester is - speed. Why bring him in if he doesn't bring anything to the team. We really need a big possession receiver. This is either Booker (older model) or Johnson (younger model). Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore, it's not a bad thing to have too many speed guys. Because the more guys we can send down the field, the more we play to Rex's strength. A possession, underneath guy would be useful, but we shouldn't go for that at the expense of additional speed guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weve had the burners here for a while but havent had the sure handed, larger possession receiver like we thought we were getting when we signed Moose. Adding a guy like that will make Hester and even Bradley more viable deep threats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brletich Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 3 yrs 10 million. Peace More on stallworth's deal from PFT: POSTED 7:11 p.m. EST, March 1, 2008 MORE ON STALLWORTH DEAL We've gotten some more information about the contract signed between the Cleveland Browns and receiver Donte' Stallworth. The $10 million in guaranteed payments are part of a five-year, $35 million deal. It's not bad at all for a guy who couldn't parlay a strong 2006 season in Philly into a big-money deal last year in free agency. Instead, he got only (only?) $1 million in guaranteed money last year as part of a deal one-year "prove it" deal with the Pats. Stallworth likely will be the starting receiver across from Braylon Edwards, with Joe Jurevicius relegated to second string. Meanwhile, we need to echo MDS's comments regarding the absence of a first-round, second-round, or third-round pick this year in Cleveland. As a good friend of the site has previously explained to us in connection with the struggles of the Dolphins, the absence of multiple draft picks eventually could rob a team of its nucleus. The Browns likely will overcome a single season without draft picks in the first three rounds. However, we're hoping that they don't make a habit of it. That is a lot for a guy who has never broken out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balta1701-A Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 That's significantly more expensive than the 3 years, $10 million originally posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connorbear Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 My bad. I had heard a different amount. No way would I give him 10 million guarenteed. Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes...a lot of coin is being thrown everywhere on mediocre talent...oh wait...it is FA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
