On the day the Detroit Lions' rookies will begin an extended break ahead of training camp, the team got second-round pick Levi Onwuzurike under contract Thursday.

Selected in the second round, 41st overall, Onwuzurike is the fourth Lions draft pick to agree to terms, leaving cornerback Ifeatu Melifonwu, wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and linebacker Derrick Barnes as the remaining rookies needing to get deals done.

Those talks should largely be a formality, given the 2011 collective bargaining agreement implemented a rookie salary scale, which all but eliminated holdouts for first-year players.

While terms weren't immediately available, Onwuzurike's deal is expected to come in slightly ahead of four-year, $7.
