There's a Stallworth fill-in.

The thing for me was, he wouldn't have wanted to come here anyway. And everyone here should have known, we had no interest. endless cycle

can't understand why the Hawks would get rid of him knowing they would still have to pay him anyway! Was one of our better players last year, now we pay him $6+ million to play for someone else.

I have Derrick Mason on the bench on one of my teams.

Doubtful that he would have signed here for that small of a difference. At 32 yo, he prob wanted to go to the team that gave him the best chance at a ring....reason that the Vikes and Ravens were high on his list.

Still would have loved to have gotten him.

Who's pissed off? I'm not pissed off. Mostly because I knew Hurney and Co. wouldn't make a play at him, because...

a. He's over 30.

b. He wanted more than a rookie salary.

There have been so many good veteran receivers come and go through Free Agency, our inaction was expected.
