Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte’ Stallworth has struck a deal with prosecutors to limit his jail time for striking a pedestrian with his car in Miami in mid-March. Stallworth, 28, has agreed to plead guilty to DUI manslaughter for his role in the death of 59-year-old Mario Reyes. Stallworth, who was looking at a possible 15-year sentence, is expected to serve a short jail sentence, followed by a lengthy probation period, Terry Chavez, a spokeswoman for the Miami-Dade State Attorneys Office told The Associated Press. Stallworth had been drinking at a Miami bar before getting behind the wheel of his 2005 Bentley. “There is a plea agreement and it’s going to be presented to the judge,” Stallworth attorney Christopher Lyons said. Stallworth’s blood-alcohol level was gauged at .126 after the crash; Florida’s limit is .08. The plea agreement was made possible because Stallworth has cooperated with investigators and issued a statement shortly after the crash expressing sympathy for Reyes’ family. “He’s shown remorse and taken responsibility from day one,” Chavez said.  Stallworth signed a seven-year, $35 million contract with the Browns before last season but was injured much of the year.

A judge adjourned a hearing scheduled for Tuesday at the Manhattan Criminal Court. Burress’ attorney, Benjamin Brafman, said that he had not reached a plea agreement, but that he was continuing discussions with prosecutors. Read more.
