Plea Agreement to be Finalized in July
As part of the agreement, Kamara will be required to perform 30 hours of community service and pay $105,000 to cover the medical expenses of Darnell Greene, the victim of the assault. The incident took place on February 5, 2022, at a hotel in Las Vegas, just before the Pro Bowl. Kamara and three other men were indicted for their involvement, and surveillance video of the incident was made public in November.

The plea agreement is expected to be finalized by a judge in July. Kamara’s attorney, David Chesnoff, expressed Kamara’s satisfaction with the resolution and his focus on the upcoming NFL season. However, Kamara may still face disciplinary action from the NFL under the league’s personal conduct policy, as his case remains under review by the league.
