For those teams looking for a once-highly regarded wide receiver who hasn't played in the NFL since 2008, will turn 30 this year, has never caught more than 70 balls in any season and has started just 16 games since the beginning of the 2007 season, your guy is now available. One day after Donte' Stallworth was reinstated into the league after a season-long suspension for killing a pedestrian while driving drunk, he was released by the Cleveland Browns on Monday. Stallworth signed a seven-year, $35 million contract with the Browns in March 2008, but he played only one season for them. He caught just 17 passes in 11 games for 170 yards and a touchdown as a Brown. Stallworth was suspended for the 2009 season in June. He was charged with DUI manslaughter after an early morning accident in March that killed a Miami construction worker. Stallworth's blood-alcohol level was above the legal limit at .126. He was sentenced to 30 days in jail -- of which he served 24 -- two years of house arrest, eight years of probation and other restrictions. FANTASY ANALYSIS: Stallworth has always teased fantasy owners with his speed. But his legs were the best thing about him. Now he'll be 30 years old in November and will have to work hard just to find a spot on an active roster. It may be too early to call his fantasy potential completely over, but it'll be at least another year before he is draftable. Stallworth, who was the 13th pick in the 2002 NFL draft, had his best season in 2005 with the New Orleans Saints. He caught 70 passes for 945 yards and seven touchdowns.
