| 12th July, 2005 - 11:12 pm |  ESPN - On Tuesday the NFL suspended Kansas City Chiefs starting cornerback Eric Warfield for the first four games of the 2005 season, the sanctions coming as a result of multiple DUI convictions.
The suspension will cost the Chiefs a talented cover defender, one who has started in all but one game over the last four seasons, and will cost Warfield $776,470 in base salary. That amount represents four-seventeenths of the $3.3 million base salary that Warfield was scheduled to earn in 2005.
Warfield, 29, was arrested for DUI on Sept. 20, 2004 in Overland Park, Kan., and police reports indicated that he had a blood alcohol level of .189 at the time, more than double Kansas' legal limit of .08. Warfield pleaded no contest in January to the felony charges. He was sentenced to 10 days in jail and 80 days of house arrest, was fined $1,500 and ordered to perform 100 hours of community service.
