The Cleveland Browns have released WR Donte’ Stallworth. He didn’t last 24 hours on the offseason roster after being reinstated from his one-year suspension Monday morning. Stallworth is still only 29, but was completely ineffective the last time he played, catching just 17 balls for 170 yards and a single touchdown in 11 games opposite Braylon Edwards in 2008. He’ll be lucky to get more than a one-year deal for the veteran’s minimum. However, look for a west coast team to give him one last chance, possible Oakland, San Francisco or Seattle.

Elsewhere around the NFL:

Seattle: Seattle Seahawks LT Walter Jones announced on Twitter Sunday that he is retiring from football. It’s worth noting that Jones is known as something of a jokester, so we’re not sure he’s being for real. Still, a slew of knee and back issues have caught up to Jones, who turned 36 last month and was unable to play last season. A nine-time Pro Bowler and four-time All-Pro first-teamer, Jones started every single game he appeared in during his 13-year career. He was perhaps the best left tackle during the early- to mid-2000s, protecting Matt Hasselbeck’s blind side and blocking for Shaun Alexander. Jones will make the Hall of Fame.

Denver: Broncos owner Pat Bowlen said he would like Brandon Marshall to remain with the team. “And there’s still a good possibility that could happen,” Bowlen said. The owner said that he thinks Marshall matured this season, but added that he would not veto any trade that coach Josh McDaniels thinks benefits the team. The trading period opens on March 5 and we’ll see how much teams are willing to give for someone with questionable character.

New England: Tom Brady’s $3 million offseason roster bonus is due on March 5. As ESPN’s Mike Reiss notes, the presence of the bonus in Brady’s deal at the start of the new league year could expedite talks on a long-term extension. The Pats would likely prefer to sign Brady to a new contract before paying the bonus rather than after it. Brady is expected to command at least $15M annually on his deal, which will probably span at least five years.

Philadelphia: Brian Westbrook confirmed that he was not completely healed from his October 25 concussion when he returned to game action three weeks later last season. Westbrook, though, didn’t deny or confirm reports that he’s considering retirement, which reportedly could be due to knee problems instead of his multiple head injuries. He did indicate that his concussions are a big concern going forward. Westbrook, going on 31, is due a whopping $7.25M in 2010.

Philadelphia: ESPN’s Sal Paolantonio reports that the Denver Broncos, Bills, and Browns have shown interest in the availability of Donovan McNabb. While Cleveland and Buffalo has obvious holes at QB, this tells us a little about Denver’s faith, or lack of it, in Kyle Orton as a long-term solution. The Eagles have indicated that McNabb is unlikely to be traded. Should they be offered a first-round pick however, we strongly believe that would change.
