Browns release Stallworth

Mon 8th, February 2010

Berea, OH (Sports Network) - The Cleveland Browns have officially parted ways with troubled wide receiver Donte' Stallworth, terminating his contract Monday less than 24 hours after his season-long suspension was lifted.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in the days leading up to the Super Bowl that Stallworth would be reinstated following Sunday's marquee event; Stallworth sat out the 2009 season for violating the league's policies on substances of abuse and personal conduct.

Stallworth served 24 days of a 30-day jail sentence and received 10 years of probation as part of a plea agreement on a DUI manslaughter charge from March. He was initially suspended indefinitely by Goodell.

On March 14, Stallworth struck and killed a pedestrian with his vehicle in Miami. His blood-alcohol level was .126 -- above Florida's legal limit of .08 -- at the time of the accident.

Stallworth joined the Browns for the 2008 season as a free agent and caught a career-low 17 passes for 170 yards with a touchdown in just 11 games. He was hampered by a quadriceps injury for much of the season.
