Former NFL receiver Reche Caldwell is in trouble with the law again. Caldwell was arrested on Tuesday in Tampa, Fla., and charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute, a third degree felony in Florida.
Caldwell was arrested by Tampa police after signing for a USPS package that contained 4.8 pounds of MDMA -- a pure form of ecstasy that also goes by the name 'Molly.' According to authorities, the MDMA had a street value of over $60,000.
According to the drug experts over at TMZ, Caldwell probably could've gotten up to $80 per gram for the pure ecstasy, so the five pounds of MDMA might've been worth almost $180,000.
Caldwell was released from jail on Wednesday after posting a $2,000 bail.
The arrest on Tuesday marks the second time this year that Caldwell has run into legal problems. Back in January, Caldwell was arrested and charged with running an illegal gambling house and bookmaking. The 35-year-old is still awaiting a trial on those charges.
The arrested receiver hasn't played in the NFL since 2007 when he played in eight games for the Washington Redskins. The former second-round pick spent six seasons in the league after being drafted by the Chargers in 2002.
Besides San Diego and Washington, Caldwell also spent a season in New England, where he caught 61 passes for 760 yards and four touchdowns from Tom Brady.
Despite being out of the league for over six years now, Caldwell still has NFL ties. Caldwell is the older brother of Denver Broncos wide receiver Andre Caldwell.

Free agent WR Miles Austin could return to Dallas
Reported by DallasCowboys.com, Cowboys Head Coach Jason Garrett indicated that he would "absolutely" consider the possible re-signing of current free agent Miles Austin.
Lets break this down into two scenarios, one, the real-world, and two, fantasy land.In the real world this seems to be a no brainer even with the current NFL draft over and Dallas drafting Devin Street. Why is it a no brainer? Dallas needs to address their wide out situation as after Dez Bryant its gets very thin. Bringing back Miles Austin at the right price, even with his hamstring history, could easily make him the 2nd our 3rd ranked wideout on their current depth chart [provided by Ourlads.com]. The key here is what is the right price?Lets bring fantasy mindset to light here. As of now, Miles Austin is 115+ on my braft board for wide receivers which notably makes him undraftable (12 team leagues, say each team drafted 10 wide outs each can't say Miles Austin would be part or should be part of the 120 players selected). If Miles does sign somewhere then we can return to his fantasy discussion but don't get sucked in by the name. Miles Austin is fantasy football irrelevent at this point.
