What the experts said: Lions extend Damon Harrison's contract

The Lions made Damon Harrison happy. What did the experts say?

The Detroit Lions confirmed today officially that they have signed defensive tackle Damon Harrison, nicknamed "Snacks" to a one-year, $11 million contract extension.

According to reports, Harrison's extension guarantees him $12 million over the next two seasons.

How did the experts weigh in after hearing the news? Below are some responses to the news of the signing:

Takes two to tango. Really do believe this move reflects best outcome for both sides. Harrison is important to what the Lions want to do, but he was underpaid (but relative NFL player standards). He pushed for this in a largely non-disruptive way and was taken care of.
