Here's a guy that was capable of being productive, but no team would touch him. I know drugs issues and DUI-related killings are two different matters, but it still gives some indication that teams are likely to shy away from players with off-field issues (real or perceived). If a team as talent-bereft as the Browns feel they can do better without him, what does that say about the rest of the league? (Of course, there is a significant financial/commercial aspect to this story, but still...) Still, Vick got signed, so anything's possible (although his failure to make an impact might make teams think twice about this sort of situation). Does he deserve a second chance? Maybe, but it wouldn't be surprising if not many teams were interested. I’m open-minded about Stallworth, but look at the numbers for Matt Jones in 2008: 65-761-2TD (in just 12 games).

Then why did three teams get rid of him after one season? It is not hard to get 45 receptions or 700 yards in a season. We can find a guy like Earl Bennett? Pierre Garcon? Davone Bess? Those guys weren't high picks either, and each did better than 700 yards. I just think you're looking at the past and expecting that as the future, when the truth is Stallworth is a deep threat (we have one a better one in Braylon) who doesn't do much else. Clowney may not run the entire route tree, but he's also a very good blocker, I have actually seen Stallworth "block" in person, it's not pretty. Brad,

Obviously, Tannenbaum will make sure he knows the rule, so if Moore is not tendered and the Jets can sign him without restriction, he'll probably be squarely on their radar. I'd be surprised if they didn't tender him, despite Meachem's emergence.

I know this is a pointless question if they tender him, but if they don't, can we theoretically throw a decent sum at him regardless of which players leave the Jets? I know this was talked about before, I'm just not sure if this was proven to be true or a myth. Bent,

Meaning it will be hard to sign someone better to fit the role than stallworth. Lance moore will be part of our final four restriction, meaning the chances of us landing someone of Moores caliber is slim, because we wont be able to offer him the money he desires, nor can we go after him til someone signs one of our guys first. And as stated in the new article on here specifically on stallworth, he is a legit #3 option, which is not so easy to replace, since even the Pats havent had success finding #3 guy for their system. Also- a guy isnt a one trick pony when he averages around 45 rec and 700 yrds per year- he is much more versatile than Clowney. And your proposed idea of drafting someone- we arent drafting a WR in rd 1 or 2, our next pick is round 5- it is unlikely to find a good wr in rd 5- rd 3 or 4 yes, but not rd 5.
