The Cleveland Browns have continued with their spending spree, by signing former New England Patriots receiver Donte Stallworth. Stallworth gets a 7-year contract worth $35 million, there is $10 million in that contract that is guaranteed. He’ll receive $17 million over the first 4 years of the contract. This is another good signing for the Browns and pretty good for Donte as well.

For the Browns they get more depth at wideout and some speed. This is now a very mult-dimensional offense that Derek Anderson should have a field day with on Sundays. They now have Braylon Edwards, Joe Jurevicius and Stallworth as the receivers, with Kellen Winslow playing the tight end position.

With Randy Moss on the market, and Stallworth playing second fiddle there as he did in the regular season I wondered how big of a contract he may get. Well he got paid alright, and pretty good for a player who has never had a 1000-yard receiving season in his 6-year career. His best season was in 2005 when he caught 70 balls for 945 yards.

Good signing for both teams, and I’ll say there will be a lot of celebrating in the Dog Pound this year.
