Dana Stubblefield, a former Pro Bowler for San Francisco, was charged with five felony counts for the rape of a “developmentally delayed” woman, prosecutors announced.
The Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office said Stubblefield, 45, assaulted the woman on April 9, 2015 at his Morgan Hill home after interviewing her for a babysitting job.
u25a0 The Jets exercised their fifth-year option on defensive lineman Sheldon Richardson, keeping him under contract through the 2017 season. Richardson has 16 ½ career sacks and was the 2013 defensive rookie of the year after being selected 13th over all.
The team also announced that it declined the option on the oft-injured cornerback Dee Milliner, meaning that Milliner, a 2013 first-round draft pick, can become a free agent after this season.
