The Browns have released wide receiver Donte Stallworth just a day after he reinstated back into the league. Stallworth pleaded guilty to DUI manslaughter for driving drunk after he struck and killed a man early March 14, 2009.
Stallworth had just 17 receptions in his one season on the field with the Browns. By releasing Stallworth now the team avoids paying Stallworth a $ 1 million roster bonus that was due on March 20th.
(Berea) - The Cleveland Browns announced Friday that season ticket prices for the 2010 season will not increase.
Season ticket prices for the Browns, which continue to rank among the lowest in the NFL, have not increased in five of the last seven years. In fact, this year prices for select seats will be lower than they were in 2009.
For the first time ever, each Season Ticket Account Holder will have their own Personal Ticket Services Representative. They will also receive in-stadium discounts on items such as concessions and team merchandise, in addition to discounted season parking.
“Having faced the Browns several times in Cleveland as a head coach, I know what a home field advantage our stadium can provide,” said Browns President Mike Holmgren. “We're excited about continuing to build the type of team that our fans can be proud of. I know that they will be an integral part of any success that we have and that is why we are pleased to keep our ticket prices as affordable as possible for our fans.”
For the first time, season tickets are available in the Cleveland Browns Family Zone – a family-friendly, alcohol-free area in Cleveland Browns Stadium. Prices in the Family Zone are set at $32 per game on a season basis, making them one of the most affordable in the NFL.
Renewal information for current Season Ticket Holders will be mailed later this month.
The Browns 2010 regular season home schedule includes games against the Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, Kansas City Chiefs, New England Patriots, New York Jets, and AFC North rivals Pittsburgh Steelers, Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- NFL commissioner Roger Goodell says Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte' Stallworth will be reinstated from his suspension for killing a pedestrian while driving drunk.
At his annual Super Bowl-week news conference Friday, Goodell said Stallworth's suspension will be lifted after the Super Bowl on Sunday.
Goodell said he met with Stallworth about a month ago, and the receiver is "in a better place than he was." Goodell said Stallworth recognizes what he did and has prepared himself to return to the NFL.
Stallworth spent 24 days in jail for a DUI manslaughter conviction in the case. The accident occurred last March in South Florida, and he was suspended without pay last August.
