The new trial has been scheduled to begin on Sept. 30.

The 35-year-old Winslow was convicted Monday of raping a 58-year-old homeless woman and two counts of lewd conduct involving two other women.

The jury deadlocked on remaining charges, including two counts of rape, and the judge declared a mistrial.

The judge denied a defense request that Winslow be released on $1 million bail and home confinement.

Winslow played for Cleveland, Tampa Bay, New England and the New York Jets.
