Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that the Detroit Lions have agreed to terms with offensive lineman Gosder Cherilus, the team’s first-round pick in the 2008 draft.
Cherilus reportedly inked a five-year deal.
He faces a review under the Personal Conduct Policy of his involvement in a brawl at a bar. He recently was placed on a year of pre-trial probation and ordered to pay restitution to a man who allegedly was injured while Cherilus and Chargers defensive back DeJuan Tribble were allegedly breaking up a fight.
And, so, the Lions might want to just go ahead and pay a chunk of the signing bonus directly to the league; that’s where it’s likely going to end up, eventually.

how does the nfl have anything to say about this.
as far as i can tell,when all this happened,he was not
an employee of the nfl.
i’m sure some second year law student could make hay with
this,if he is fined.

I wonder what’s taking so long with the Texans and Duane Brown. Or Frank Okam for that matter… dude, you’re a 5th-round pick!
