MIAMI -- Miami Dolphins linebacker Derrick Rodgers would avoid jail time for charges he kicked and punched his wife and hit a man with a chair at a restaurant under a plea agreement reached Tuesday by prosecutors.
Rodgers would serve five years of probation if he accepts the deal offered to his attorney on Sept. 5. Rodgers would also have to stay away from William Peguero, the man he allegedly hit with a chair, and not have any "violent contact'' with his wife, Kareff Rodgers.
The deal includes a 26-week domestic battery intervention program, 100 hours of community service, written apologies to the victims, a $500 donation to a domestic violence prevention program and reimbursement for Peguero's medical bills.....
