The Facts:
We learned ... what has been expected for weeks -- that the Patriots will not pick up the $8 million due in bonuses to Stallworth over the next eight days. That means that come Monday, the team will release the receiver.
Reported by the Dallas Morning News
Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
No real surprise. The Patriots reportedly informed Stallworth of their plans earlier this month. While the decision not to pay the bonuses will allow Stallworth to test the market -- much like teammates Randy Moss and Jabar Gaffney, it doesn't preclude New England from re-signing him to a more cap-friendly contract. In fact, asked today whether Stallworth might return with a new contract, agent Drew Rosenhaus (who represents Stallworth and Gaffney) told Boston Globe staffer Mike Reiss: "Like Jabar, I'd say we're in discussions."
