Detroit Lions Re-Sign Charles Harris
The Detroit Lions continue to re-sign their own free agents.
One day after re-signing safety Tracy Walker, the Lions will re-sign Charles Harris after a stellar debut campaign in Detroit in 2021.
The agreement is reportedly worth $14 million over two seasons.
After bouncing around the league the first couple of seasons in his career, Harris produced for the Lions in his first season in Motown.
"You mentioned Charles Harris, a guy who arguably had his best year, in my opinion. A guy that was just in a better place," Detroit general manager Brad Holmes explained to reporters.
Being in a defensive system that best utilized his abilities allowed the 27-year-old defensive end to record 7.5 sacks last season.
“You saw previously guys worked him inside, 5 technique, even in some systems all the way down to the 4, and that’s not what he’s built to do,” Lions linebackers coach Kelvin Sheppard told reporters last season. “He’s built, in my opinion, to play on the edge. He’s a very physical, a quick-twitchy player, so he gets on and off of blocks well. And, he does things that a lot of other people -- you have to have a motor to do a lot of the things that Charles Harris does on tape, and it’s non-stop from the first whistle to the last.”
