Indianapolis, IN (Sports Network) - The Indianapolis Colts bolstered their
front lines on Thursday, agreeing to terms with tackle Gosder Cherilus and
three other players.
Cherilus spent his first five NFL seasons with Detroit, which selected him in
the first round of the 2008 draft out of Boston College. He started in 71 of
his 75 career appearances.
In addition, the club brought in defensive back Greg Toler, linebacker Erik
Walden and guard Donald Thomas.
Toler compiled 128 tackles, five interceptions for 168 yards and two scores,
with one sack in 38 games over three seasons for the Arizona Cardinals.
Walden is coming off a 46-tackle, three-sack, two-interception season for the
Green Bay Packers. Heading into his sixth pro season, the Middle Tennessee
State product brings 153 tackles, eight sacks and a pair of picks in 68 games
to the Indy defense.
Thomas, a sixth-round pick of the Dolphins in 2008, has started in 21 of 43
games with Miami, Detroit and New England in five NFL campaigns.
