On March 3, he was convicted of a third DUI charge and was sentenced to 10 days in jail and 80 days of house arrest.[1] In the wake of this incident, the NFL suspended Warfield for the first four games of the 2005 season.[2]

New England Patriots

On April 3, 2006, Warfield was signed by the New England Patriots but was released shortly after training camp, never playing in a regular season game for the team.
