Donte Stallworth is in hot water. He killed a man while behind the wheel. Reportedly, tests showed that his blood-alcohol level was over the legal limit. Although he hasn’t gotten any official punishment yet, the Cleveland Browns appear to be preparing for life without Stallworth in the 2009 NFL season.
To replace the speedy wide receiver, the Browns have gone in a number of different directions. In the second round of the 2009 NFL Draft, the Browns selected two wide receivers: Brian Robiskie of Ohio State and Tim Massaquoi of Georgia. In free agency, Cleveland has signed David Patten and Mike Furrey.
Patten played the last two season with the New Orleans Saints. At 34, Patten could offer experience to an otherwise without receiving corps. Furrey played the last three seasons with the Detroit Lions. In 2006, Furrey collected 98 receptions and more than 1,000 receiving yards while playing in Mike Martz’ high-powered offense.
Stay tuned to see if Cleveland adds any more talent next to Braylon Edwards to try to replace the probable loss of Donte Stallworth.
