It’s contract extension season!
For the past few years, Detroit Lions general manager Bob Quinn has made it a habit to sign his own players on expiring contracts to an extension in the final weeks of August or early September. Last year, the Lions signed Damon Harrison Sr. to a one-year extension on August 21 (whoops). The year before that, Quandre Diggs signed a three-year extension on September 3 (whoops). The season prior to that, Matthew Stafford signed his mega-deal on August 28 (no whoops).
This year, at least two Detroit Lions players look to be seeking a contract extension: left tackle Taylor Decker and wide receiver Kenny Golladay.
