Stallworth won’t be a Bengal; Matt Jones to play tight end?
You can scratch former Cleveland Brown Donte Stallworth off your wish list - or maybe it was your “please don’t sign THAT guy” list.
Stallworth is going to be a Baltimore Raven, according to a report on ESPN.com.
Stallworth, 28, was reinstated Feb. 7 by the NFL after sitting out a year and spending 24 days in prison. He was suspended by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell for killing a 59-year-old pedestrian in Florida while driving drunk.
Matt Jones to play tight end?
The Bengals plan to use their newest addition — wide receiver Matt Jones — not as a wideout, but as a tight end, according to in-house NFL guru Carlos “Big C” Holmes.
Sources tell Big C that the Bengals like Jones’ size (6-6, 220), even though he comes in about 30 pounds lighter than your average tight end. Former Bengal tight end Ben Utecht was considered a pass-catching tight end and appeared small despite his 6-6, 245-pound frame.
