Ravens sign WR and killer Donteââ¬â¢ Stallworth
Quote:The Baltimore Ravens say they have signed wide receiver Donteââ¬â¢ Stallworth(notes) to a one-year contract.
Stallworth was recently released by the Cleveland Browns after being reinstated by the NFL following a one-year suspension. He was suspended for violating the leagueââ¬â¢s personal-conduct policy for a DUI vehicular manslaughter charge.
Stallworth served 30 days in a Miami jail for striking and killing a Miami construction worker with his car while driving under the influence of alcohol.
The Ravens announced the signing Wednesday.
The deal is worth $900,000 with an additional $300,000 in incentives.
ââ¬ÅThere was a time I felt the mistake I made was the end of the world for me,ââ¬Â Stallworth said in a statement. ââ¬ÅI will never get that morning back. It weighs on me every day and will for the rest of my life. What I can do is move forward, try to be a better person, try to convince others not to do what I did and warn others about the dangers of drinking and driving. I have to show otherwise that what happened doesnââ¬â¢t reflect who I am.
