A Miami Beach police report shows a pedestrian wasn't in a crosswalk when Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte Stallworth hit and killed him with his Bentley. An accident report released yesterday also says the former Patriot told officers he flashed his lights to warn 59-year-old Mario Reyes, who was rushing to catch a bus after getting off work just after 7 a.m. Police say Stallworth was going about 50 miles per hour in a 40-m.p.h. zone. Police are investigating whether alcohol played a role in the March 14 accident. No charges have been filed against Stallworth pending the outcome of blood tests.

Chiefs' Gonzalez would accept trade
Contrary to remarks by Kansas City owner Clark Hunt, Tony Gonzalez wants to be traded if the right deal can be made, according to a person close to the Pro Bowl tight end. Asking not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the subject, the person said Gonzalez was surprised that Hunt had said the Chiefs were definitely not going to trade their 10-time Pro Bowler. "If the right deal can be made, Tony very much wants the Chiefs to trade him," the person said. "Tony is not demanding a trade. But he knows of some other teams that would be interested in him and if the right deal can be made, he wants it to be made." . . . The Colts waived former Harvard running back Clifton Dawson, who played in 13 games over two seasons and totaled 64 yards and one touchdown on 30 carries. The team also signed linebacker Adam Seward, a free agent who played the past four years with Carolina.
