Troubled former Brown Donte Stallworth has signed a one-year deal with the Baltimore Ravens, according to Peter King of Sports Illustrated. ESPN's Adam Schefter further reports that Stallworth's deal is worth $900,000, with another $300,000 in incentives.
Donte Stallworth Signs One-Year Deal With Ravens
The 30-year old Stallworth sat out the entire 2009 season after pleading guilty to DUI manslaughter after striking and killing a pedestrian with his Bentley in March 2009. He served 24 days in jail, but was suspended by Roger Goodell for the NFL season, before being reinstated this past February.
Stallworth's signing helps address what is one of the most glaring weaknesses for the Baltimore Ravens. Derrick Mason was the team's leading receiver last year, but he flirted with retirement last summer, and team officials aren't sure if he will return for 2010. Other than the steady if unspectacular Mason, the Ravens receiving corps lacks any reliable targets, with first-round bust Mark Clayton and former Vol Kelley Washington rounding out the unit.
Stallworth, known as a burner throughout his career, told reporters that he has been working out in Florida the past few weeks, and ran several 40-yard dashes in the 4.3 range
