"The Browns terminated the contract of wide receiver Donte' Stallworth on Monday, the team announced in a one-sentence press release.

Stallworth was reinstated by the NFL after Sunday's Super Bowl after being suspended for the 2009 season by commissioner Roger Goodell. Stallworth pleaded guilty to DUI manslaughter for a March 14 accident in Miami Beach that killed pedestrian Mario Reyes. Stallworth served 24 days of a 30-day jail sentence and also reached a financial settlement with the Reyes family.

The Browns had been expected to release Stallworth before March 20, when he was reportedly due a $1 million roster bonus. He now becomes an unrestricted free agent.

Stallworth posted on his Twitter page Monday evening, ''I LOVE TOM HECKERT!!!!! He was my guy in Philly & he's my guy now . . . always . . . nothing but love from me to him.''

Heckert, the new Browns general manager, spent the past nine years with the Eagles. Stallworth played for the Eagles in 2006."
