A league source tells us that there's little or no interest on the open market for receiver Donte' Stallworth, whose tenure with the Patriots is ending after only one season.

A year ago, Stallworth was believed to be one of the hottest free-agent receivers on the market. After languishing on the shelf while the big money flowed, Stallworth signed a long-term contract in New England that was essentially a one-year "prove it" deal.

But Stallworth never got a chance to prove anything, because only a few weeks after he signed the Pats traded for Randy Moss.

One possible destination for Stallworth could be Minnesota, since the Vikings run the same offense as the Eagles, for whom Stallworth had a solid season in 2006. Ditto for the Buccaneers, who seem to be always on the hunt for more pass-catchers.

I read that earlier, no interest for him. Time to get him cheap.
