In an episode of "The Best Damn Sports Show" taped yesterday, receiver Donté Stallworth reiterated that he hopes to return to the Eagles but also elaborated on some possible destinations in free agency.
Stallworth, 26, came to the Birds in a trade last Aug. 28 for linebacker Mark Simoneau and a fourth-round draft pick that becomes a third if the Eagles sign him before free agency starts March 2. For that reason, the Birds are very unlikely to sign Stallworth before his contract expires. They have expressed interest in bringing him back, but have said he might command more money than they can afford to spend in a free-agent market that is light on talent.
"I love the Eagles and I love being there, and I'm hoping that we can get things worked out," Stallworth said during the taping, for a show that will be aired tonight. "There are some other interesting situations that I have on the table, but as far as being with the one team, I definitely want to be with the Eagles."
