The case for Byron Jones replacing Darius Slay

Last week, a foundational piece of the Detroit Lions defensive front was released less than one year removed from signing a contract extension. Damon “Snacks” Harrison Sr. was one of the few bright spots of a struggling defense in 2018. A stout and stabilizing force in the run game, Snacks was the perfect player to plug into Matt Patricia’s scheme. One disappointing season later, he’s a free agent and the Lions are once again in search of a replacement.

As they say, the hits keep on coming, and this one is sounding like a similar tune.
