Thomas Jones stat line from the playoffs Code: Rank Player Team Yds Att Avg TDs Long 2 Thomas Jones CHI 301 55 5.5 4 52 Yeah, he disappeared in the playoffs
Eh, I think he will. And IMO, Stallworth won't workout for one reason or another. I just doubt he'll repeat his 2006 season again.
There are no way to say for sure how good he will be,you can say that about any player on any team..I like NE's track record
Did you watch the playoffs?? If you did you would have seen a RB that carried his team offensively into the SB & performed well in the SB also. And Lovie did have faith in him, the evidence is that he continued to start him for two years after the team used the #4 pick on a RB. You write this sounding more like an uninformed Pats homer rather than a fan that wants to see the AFC East competitive..
No they don't. They may get some kind of compensatory pick next year (depending on how many guys they add vs. how many guys they lose), but they got no pick. Graham was an unrestricted free agent.
0 for 2. The Eagles didn't leak it. You keep making things up. NEWS FLASH: Fabricated "facts" are lousy support for your inane arguments.
Prove it. All reports have the Eagles the only ones aware of Stallworths infraction. Weird that came out all the sudden when they figured out they could not keep him. You have no proof they didnt leak it. Hence your argument being dumb. :breakdance: :breakdance:
The contract details just came out. 1 year deal with 5 year option if they choose to extend him. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2794615 The details of the deal just came out. The contract has an option giving the pats the ability to back out of the deal in 2008 if they are not happy with Stallworths performance. The deal is basically a one year deal with a option that the pats can choose or NOT choose to pick up in 08. It is a 1 year deal with a 5 year option, based on performance. he does not see the lions share of the 12 mill unless the pats think he is worth it. They have protection aginast any drug infractions or chronic injuries of course. The pats have most the power in this deal. The pats are protected in the deal. No one on here bothers to look at the deal. The deal is a one year basically a one year contract that gives the pats the ability to back out after that year, or sign Stallworth to a rich 5 year deal where he sees the lions share of that 12 mill......The pats have the option to let him go or keep him. it is based on his performace after this year. Good deal. A. Stallworth is there for a few million dollars for one year. B. The Pats have an option to sign an expensive 5-year deal after that, with the terms already pre-negotiated.
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2794615 Now go back and look up the CURRENT contract in the link above. Once again you are wrong. The contract is option ridden. The pats can back out of the deal after one year. They are protected. The contract after the (first year) is based on performance. The pats have the ability to back out of the deal in 2008 if they do not feel Stallworth performed in 07. They can also sign him to a rich 5 year deal (which is pre negotiated) where he sees the lions share of that 12 mill . The pats have protected themselves and can cut ties with him after one year. He does not get 12 mill upfront and only sees that money if they choose to keep him after this season. Bottom line: A. Stallworth is there for a few million dollars for one year. B. The Pats have an option to sign an expensive 5-year deal after that, with the terms already pre-negotiated c. This is a one year deal (with the ability to be a 6 year deal if the pats choose) d. This deal includes all the things you claimed it did not.
The other thing is...Stallworth isn't that good and he always has been disappointing. People always have wanted more out of him than he has produced He's not that great. Sure, it makes the Pats better, but if we signed a guy, say Randy McMichael, to an obscene contract, it would improve our team, but kill our cap. Stallworth is an upgrade to what they have, but going into the season with him and Welker as the starting WRs isn't that good.
It didn't take me long, but I've certainly settled into the theory that you are a Patriots fan with a Jets fan name. We welcome fans of all other teams here. Dirtywater is a Patriots fan, and I have nothing but friendship for the guy. NightowlTom was a Patriots fan, and he has one of the board's awards named after him. What we do not welcome is fans of other teams pretending to be something they are not. It's game-playing, and it's trolling. At this point, anything shy of a Jets logo tattooed on your ass won't be enough to convince me otherwise on this.
Stallworth deal gives pats ability to cut him in 08 I just read this deal on espn. This deal is a basically a one year deal with a 5 year option if the patriots choose to exercise it. This deal has an option after this year that triggers the rest of the deal if the patriots choose to exercise it. If not they can part ways with him and move on. He does not recieve 12 mill up front, and will only remain with them past 2007 if they choose. If he puts up big numbers and they feel he is worth the lions share of that 12 mill they can choose to extend him for the full deal. It also includes protection against the drug crap. Bottom line: A. Stallworth is there for a few million dollars for one year. B. The Pats have an option to sign an expensive 5-year deal after that, with the terms already pre-negotiated c. This was a pretty good deal What do the non homers think about this deal? I say this gives the pats protection and was a good one.
