ProFootballTalk.com Browns to dump Stallworth by March 20

So now that we're in the press box with roughly three hours to go until kickoff, we've got no excuse for not working.
Here's one from Friday that we previously missed.
Tony Grossi of the
Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that the Browns
will cut receiver Donte' Stallworth by March 20, the day on which he's due to pocket a $1 million roster bonus.
Stallworth will be reinstated by the NFL upon conclusion of the Super Bowl.
Theoretically, the Browns could trade Stallworth, but it's highly unlikely that anyone would pick up a contract that includes not only the $1 million roster bonus but also a base salary of $1.5 million in 2010, $2.775 million in 2011, $4.55 million in 2012, $5.65 million in 2013, and $5.95 million in 2014.
So he'll instead become an unrestricted free agent, and then it'll remain to be seen whether someone gives him a chance.
