According to Kyle Meinke, Detroit Lions DT Damon Harrison has approached the team about a contract extension.
“It’s something that I got to talk to (agent Drew Rosenhaus) this week, and going into the future,” Lions general manager Bob Quinn said Monday. “Not something that I need to do right now.”
Harrison is currently under contract through 2020.
“My priority right now is the draft,” Quinn said. “We got another month or so before the draft is here, so that (extension) is something that we’ll probably talk about in May or June.”
Harrison, 30, originally signed on with the Jets as an undrafted free agent out of William Penn back in 2012. He spent four years with the Jets before departing in free agency for a five-year, $46.25 million contract that included $24 million guaranteed with the Giants.
The Giants later traded Harrison to the Lions in return for a 2018 fifth-round pick. Harrison stands to make base salaries of $6.75 million and $9 million over the next two years.
In 2018, Harrison appeared in 10 games for the Lions, recording 50 total tackles, 3.5 sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. In seven games for the Giants, he recorded 31 tackles, no sacks and a forced fumble.
