The NFL is very forgiving for violations of its conduct policy. Former Pats WR Donte Stallworth is a classic example. Stallworth was suspended for the 2009 after pleading guilty to killing a pedestrian while driving under the influence of alcohol. He served 30 days in a Florida jail.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goddell recently reinstated Stallworth for the 2010 season. The Cleveland Browns subsequently released him. He was signed by the Baltimore Ravens to a 1 year/ $900,000 contract.
The family of the victim has an ongoing civil suit against Stallworth which will be ruled at some point in their favor.
Stallworth spent the 2007 season with the Pats where he caught 46 passes for 697 yards and 3 TD's He filed for free-agency after the 2007 season and was signed to a lucrative four year contract by the Browns.
