now set to move on to Detroit for discussions about two other clients.
Cornerback Darius Slay and defensive tackle Damon Harrison both skipped
voluntary and mandatory work during the offseason program as they look for new
deals with the team.Dave Birkett of the reports that Rosenhaus will meet with
the Lions this week about both players. Slay said in June that “time will tell”
if he will report to training camp without a new deal while Harrison has not
sent any signals about his plans. Lions veterans are due to report to camp on
July 24.Both players have two years left on their current contracts and that’s
earlier than teams generally like to entertain thoughts of redoing deals. Slay
and Harrison may be banking on their importance to the team’s defense leading to
a different outcome and this week’s meeting should shed more light on how things
will play out. 6.5 wins? Nah."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Detroit Lions
