Is Simoneaux a starter?

 

[miamicowboy21]

Yeah its on foxsports...... Stallworth isnt all that. To me the e-girls just settled for what they could get. He adds speed, but has never been consistent.

 

[Secondary2None3141]

He's an upgrade for sure, so naturally that sucks.

Hopefully he gets injured like he does every year.

Simoneaux was a linebacker who was a "good backup" with the Falcons and a starter with the Eagles. The Eagles have peculiar requirements for their own players, and it's anybodies guess whether he's a starting linebacker or a good backup where he ends up.

Thanks.

I guess with defense the Eagles strength, they could afford to trade a LB for a WR.

 

[phillycard]

He's instantly a number 1 for them. Looks like Branch was a no go.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Meh... Eagles get a chronically injured underachiever. If Payton didn't want him, I don't feel bad about the Eagles getting him. He's one of those teaser-type players who won't ever contribute much to a winning team.

I guess Pinkston was really having trouble coming back from that injury.. I mean without his speed all that is left to Pinkston are his Alligator arms..

Smart move by the Eagles..

 

[LucaBrasi]

Sirius is reporting that the pick the Eagles traded was a 4th with the chance to be a 3rd if they can sign Stallworth to an extension.
Maybe the Saints just recouped the 4th they traded for Shanle (ha ha ha).

 

[InmanRoshi]

So much for Lurie's assesrtion that he's only bringing in high character guys. Stallworth is a chump.

 

[dalengal]

We didn't need him anyway. lol:bang2:

 

[Alexander]

This says more about the health of Todd Pinkston than anything else.

 

[AdamJT13]

According to STATS Inc., Stallworth tied for the NFL lead among wide receivers in dropped passes last season (11).

I believe this is a very good move for the Eagles, unfortunately, lol. Donte has alot of talent, and has been in Horn's shadow. It is interesting though, I would have taken Donte to ride our bench over whatever pick we got from the Saints (since we don't know where that pick is) for Shanle. Man, they are serious about getting some LBs.

Stallworth, Lelie, Bryant and Randel El were all drafted in 2002 and looked at as a pretty good group of receivers. Now none of them are on their original teams for various reasons.

I like that move by the E-gals, he always seems to give us trouble and McNabb is a better QB than Brooks
