Former NFL star Darren Sharper has reportedly agreed to a plea bargain that will mitigate his time in prison for sexual assault to a maximum of eight years.
It's still hard time for a man who was once one of the hardest safeties in the league, but he could have faced a life sentence if convicted in this case.
He agreed to these terms as part of a global plea agreement in Nevada, Arizona, California and Louisiana, where he was charged with various crimes.
Sharper's sentence will run concurrently with the other sentences, so the eight years he'll serve is the maximum total, and he could do even less.
At minimum, he will be a prisoner for 38 months, or just over three years.
An Arizona judge is gearing up to announce the plea details in that state, and later this morning, a California judge is expected to do the same there.
The Louisiana component is not expected to be announced until tomorrow, but it is widely believed that it will fall in line with Sharper's Nevada deal.
In any event, Sharper, who was famously told to hold Marshawn Lynch's d--k by the insane narrator of this piece of YouTube gold, is off to the slammer.
Where, perhaps fittingly, he will try to avoid that very same fate.
The possession of drugs and weapons on his tour bus put Lil Wayne in jail for five months. That's fewer months than children the rapper has out of wedlock.
50 Cent received his GED while spending six months in shock incarceration boot camp. He was sent there for being in possession of heroin, crack and a gun.
