Donte' Stallworth's Reinstatement: Teams That May Give Him a Second Chance

Current Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte' Stallworth is best known for his unfortunate car accident that occurred almost a year ago, and he has been suspended by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell for the entire 2009 season.

Now Goodell has confirmed that Stallworth will be fully reinstated after the Super Bowl.

Also it has been reported by cleveland.com that the new Cleveland Browns front office want nothing to do with Stallworth, and they will move forward without him, and he will get cut after the reinstatement is announced.

Stallworth has said to the media that he is getting his body back into shape for the second chance at a professional football career since he will probably have to try out for a new team.

The following are possible landing spots (in no particular order) for Stallworth since the Browns will be cutting him shortly after his reinstatement.

Oakland Raiders

Raiders owner Al Davis has always been known to love players with speed, and if there was one aspect of Stallworth's game that was impressive was his explosiveness.

He may have lost a step or two since he has not played in a year, but Stallworth would fit nicely on a team that is in need of wide receivers, especially since rookie Darius Heyward-Bey's season was a loss.

Baltimore Ravens

The Ravens desperately need to give their young quarterback, Joe Flacco, more weapons on the perimeter, and it seems that everyone online wants the Ravens to trade for either Broncos receiver Brandon Marshall or Cardinals receiver Anquan Boldin.

Here's an idea, instead of trading away very important drafts picks to get either of those talented players, why not sign Stallworth and save money since he will come really cheap off of this suspension, and the team can keep their upcoming draft picks.

If their is any locker room leader that can get the best out of both his offensive and defensive teammates it is Ray Lewis, and he will get Stallworth to step up his game as part of his redemption back into the NFL.

New England Patriots

Before Stallworth signed with the Browns, he played for Bill Belichick and the Patriots where he found success and had good numbers.

With the injury to receiver Wes Welker, the Pats may be looking to add a receiver, and if they want a motivated and cheap player, then they might consider bringing Stallworth back on the team.

St. Louis Rams

Coach Steve Spagnuolo is rebuilding his team, and they have many needs throughout their roster, but he might also be intrigued in the opportunity to bring Stallworth on board.

The Rams need receivers and Stallworth is a low risk, low pay player that may be able to turn his career around with the Rams.

Cincinnati Bengals

The Bengals and coach Marvin Lewis are known for taking cast-off players from other teams and turn them into a major contributor for their team.

Just look at what the Bengals managed to do in 2009 by winning the AFC North with a roster full of journeymen and cast-offs.

With the tragic loss of receiver Chris Henry, Stallworth may find a new home in Southern Ohio in 2010.

Chicago Bears

Now that the Bears have hired new offensive coordinator in Mike Martz, look for the Bears to ride quarterback Jay Cutler's rocket-arm with a high flying passing attack in 2010.

The only issue is that Martz may need another receiver or two to build his offense, and Stallworth could make a good fit as a No. 3 receiver or a slot receiver.

Stallworth should really want this scenario to pan out because any receiver in Martz's offense usually gets a ton of stats yearly.

New York Jets

Coach Rex Ryan knows he needs to give his quarterback Mark Sanchez more receiving options on the perimeter since there are just too many questions surrounding receiver Braylon Edwards' ability to be consistent.

Stallworth would be a cheap solution and could play in the slot for the Jets and he will also add a new dimension to their offense with his speed.

The only question is, do the Jets really want to keep bringing former Browns receivers to their team?
