The Philadelphia Phreaks announced today that they have completed the first trade of the 2006-2007 CTDB season by sending RB Mike Bell plus a 2007 fourth round draft pick to Fat Jubas for WR Donte' Stallworth and a 2007 third round pick. Stallworth joins a remade Phreak receiver core that features, in Roy Williams, just one receiver that was with the team last season. Stallworth is expected to step into a starting role as soon as week one, and will likely bump Nate Burleson to the bench. Stallworth and his 4.2 speed were simply too much for the Phreaks to pass on. Despite the obvious potential of Mike Bell, the Phreaks have the luxury of depth at RB.
"We wish Mike the best with the Jubas. He performed well for us in camp and is a hard worker and talented player. However we saw the opportunity to go and get, what I feel, is a premier playmaker in Donte'. I've always been committed to surrounding Donovan with as many top-flight weapons as I can, and this is another manifestation of that. I look forward to the Donovan-Donte' connection lighting up scoreboards and opposing secondaries for many many years," said Phreak GM Ping Shen from his team's Shanghai headquarters. McNabb and Stallworth have already shown a good connection during camp, but it remains to be seen how well the DonDon pairing will function when the lights go on this Sunday.
