First assignment with Patriots
On March 11, 2007, Stallworth agreed to make peace with the New England Patriots on a reported six-year deal worth $ 30 million with a $ 3.5 million guarantee.

On February 22, 2008, the Patriots refused his contract option and he became a free agent.
Cleveland Browns
On March 1, 2008, Stallworth signed a contract worth $ 35 million over seven years with the Cleveland Browns.

DUI killing bills
On the morning of March 14, 2009, Stallworth attacked and killed a pedestrian while driving his car on the eastern end of MacArthur Causeway in Miami Beach, Florida. Stallworth headed to the beach when he hit Mario Reyes, 59. Police initially investigated further accidents to see whether the allegations against Stallworth would be justified.
Stallworth claimed to drink the night before the accident. According to preliminary reports, Stallworth was drunk legally and reported under the influence of marijuana at the time of the accident; news sources reported that the alcohol content in the blood was 0.12, exceeding the legal limit of 0.08. Stallworth claims that he turned on his car lights to warn Reyes before attacking him. A Miami Beach police report said Reyes was not at a busy intersection when he was snapped up by a 2005 Bentley Continental GT black driven by Stallworth. Police estimate Stallworth to drive about 50 mph in the 40 mph zone. The construction crane operator is trying to catch the bus home after finishing his shift around 7:15 am.
Stallworth was charged with the DUI assassination on April 1, 2009; he surrendered to the police on April 2, 2009, and was released on bail of $ 200,000. As a result of the plea agreement, he received a 30-day sentence in a county jail, plus 1,000 hours of community service, 2 years of community control, and an 8-year probation. He also received a lifetime suspension from a Florida state license. On July 10, 2009, Stallworth was released from county jail after serving a 24-day 30-day sentence.
The Associated Press reported on June 16, 2009, that Stallworth and the Reyes family reached a financial deal, avoiding a civil suit. Number of settlements not disclosed.
On August 13, 2009, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell stated that Stallworth would be suspended for the entire 2009 season without pay. Stallworth was restored after Super Bowl XLIV.
A Yahoo! The sports story published Aug. 12, 2010, reports that Stallworth's lawyer indicated he could fight all charges with "a good chance of being found not guilty," but Stallworth chose to be punished for committing a crime to do what he thought was morally correct. The article later notes that David Cornwell, one of Stallworth's lawyers, feels there is irony in reaction to Stallworth's decision because the public and the media criticize the defense deal without knowing the full story.
