Allen Park — Darius Slay and Damon Harrison are committed to paying a small price now in hopes of securing a big deal in the coming months.
As had become expected in recent days, the two Detroit Lions defenders were absent from the start of the team's mandatory minicamp on Tuesday. Assuming they skip all three days of the event — and there's no reason to believe they won't — they'll be fined a total of $88,650.
Despite each having two years remaining on their current deals, both Slay and Harrison have made it known they're seeking new contracts.
