      DETROIT  - Detroit Lions first-round draft pick Nick Fairley
has signed a contract.
      Brian Overstreet, Fairley's agent, says the defensive lineman
signed a four-year deal worth "right around $10 million" Thursday
night - with a club option for a fifth year.
      Fairley, who played at Auburn last season, was the No. 13 pick
in the 2011 draft. The Lions hope he can team up with defensive
tackle Ndamukong Suh to form a stout tandem at the line of
scrimmage.
      Detroit announced earlier Thursday it had signed its other four
draft picks from this year.
