Gosder Cherilus
41-Year-Old 
   Free Agent  
                    Contemplating retirement
Cherilus, an unrestricted free agent, is contemplating retirement, Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
				ANALYSIS
Cherilus hasn't formally decided to retire, but he reportedly isn't looking for a new contract this offseason either. The Lions' first-round selection back in 2008, the 32-year-old veteran has played in 132 games across the past nine seasons and was regarded as an above-average offensive lineman during his five years in Detroit. However, his performance largely declined thereafter, to the point that he spent this past season in Tampa Bay as a mere backup. While he seems intent on sitting out at least the 2017 campaign, a return for the 2018 season technically remains in the picture.

		            Cherilus was seemingly set to start at right tackle for the Colts but was released in July after an injury-plagued season. If he can prove he's healthy, he'll likely get a shot at making another roster.
