Free agent WR Donte' Stallworth was in a hot-air balloon accident on Saturday morning and is in a Miami area hospital.

The balloon reportedly hit a set of power lines, and Stallworth is in stable condition after suffering burns. His girlfriend was also in the balloon at the time of the accident. It's unclear if she was injured. ESPN's Adam Schefter says Stallworth should make a full recovery and be able to resume his career.

The Patriots have reportedly shown interest in free agent Donte' Stallworth.

Any deal is expected to be "on the backburner," but the Pats won't have much competition. Stallworth is a 32-year-old straight-line deep threat with 24 catches over the past three seasons. He should be available for the NFL minimum.
Mar 9 - 11:22 AM

Patriots placed WR Donte' Stallworth (ankle) on injured reserve, ending his season.

According to NFL Network's Albert Breer, the injury is a high-ankle sprain. The deep threat hauled in a 63-yard touchdown in his first game back in New England Monday night. With Stallworth and Julian Edelman (foot) both out for the season, the Pats may have Deion Branch on speed dial. Stallworth, 32, is a free agent in 2013.

Donte' Stallworth caught one pass for a 63-yard touchdown in Monday night's Week 14 win over Houston.

Stallworth was targeted just twice on the night, but he couldn't quite find the ball in the air on the other pass. The veteran was just signed this past week and immediately stepped in as New England's No. 3 receiver with Julian Edelman out. However, he won't have much, if any, fantasy value moving forward. Leave Stallworth on the waiver wire.

Patriots re-signed WR Donte' Stallworth.

Stallworth was released in late August prior to cut-down days. Since then, he has worked out for the Dolphins, Bills, and most recently the Patriots last week. He'll fill Deion Branch's role and won't be a fantasy option as the fourth or fifth option in the passing attack. OG Mitch Petrus was waived in a corresponding move.

Patriots worked out free agent WR Donte' Stallworth.

Stallworth was not offered a contract. He does have experience in Josh McDaniels' offense from the 2007 season, so the Pats will have him on speed dial if another injury strikes at wide receiver.

The Bills worked out free agent WR Donte' Stallworth Monday.

The receiver-needy Bills also tried out Danario Alexander Monday. Stallworth visited the Dolphins late last month, but has otherwise drawn lukewarm interest since his release from the Patriots. Alexander would be a higher-upside flier for the Bills, though Stallworth presents a far steadier option.

The Dolphins are working out free agent WR Donte' Stallworth Thursday.

Stallworth is among a "number" of receivers trying out for the Dolphins. He's 31, but he'd at least give the Dolphins some straight-line speed. Their starting receivers right now are Legedu Naanee and Davone Bess.

Patriots released WR Donte' Stallworth.

Stallworth's straight-line speed isn't enough. Now 31, he nearing the end of his career after bouncing between three different teams in the last three seasons. The Patriots are going to roll with Deion Branch and Jabar Gaffney as the primary backups to Brandon Lloyd and Wes Welker. Julian Edelman and Matt Slater also project to make the final roster as special teams assets.

According to ESPN Boston, Patriots WR Donte' Stallworth's speed has been "evident throughout the offseason."

Stallworth turns 32 in November, but he can still run fast in a straight line. His chances of cracking New England's 53 increased dramatically following Anthony Gonzalez and Chad Ochocinco's departures. Stallworth would still need several injuries to earn many snaps in a receiver corps that remains crowded.

Patriots WR Donte' Stallworth has been returning kickoffs during OTAs.

With Chad Ochocinco and Anthony Gonzalez out of the picture, Stallworth has a much better chance of making the 53-man roster. Adding kick returns to his repertoire would only help. Stallworth hasn't returned a kick since he was with the Saints in 2003, when he had eight returns for 171 yards.

Personnel executives tell the Boston Globe that WR Donte' Stallworth "likely won't dress" on game days this season.

In other words, he was signed strictly for depth. Stallworth gets high marks as a "tight route runner" with good straight-line speed, but he struggles versus press coverage, has questionable hands, and spends too much time in the trainers' room. No more than a fourth receiver, a lack of special teams value leaves Stallworth as the odd man out in a crowded wideout corps.
Sun, Apr 1, 2012 09:33:00 AM

Patriots agreed to terms with WR Donte' Stallworth on a one-year contract.

The numbers aren't in yet, but it would be a surprise if the contract is guaranteed. Stallworth knows the offense and can provide the occasional presence outside the numbers, but the Pats had already picked up Brandon Lloyd and Anthony Gonzalez in the early days of free agency. Meanwhile, Deion Branch remains unsigned.

Redskins OC Kyle Shanahan insists Donte' Stallworth is playing as well as any receiver on the team right now.

Stallworth's 190 yards over the past three games are more than he posted in the previous 12 games combined. The Redskins clearly need to add a play-maker at receiver, but Stallworth is playing his way into the team's plans as an impending free agent.
