It’s a 5th rounder going to the #Giants from Detroit. Big move from GM Bob Quinn. https://t.co/f9qBSYujbC

Originally acquired by the Giants in 2016 by luring him away from the Jets with a massive five-year, $46.25 million deal, ‘Snacks’ is known around the league as a quality run-stuffer which will undoubtedly help the Lions’ 30th ranked run defense.
A seven-year veteran, Harrison has accumulated 386 total combined tackles throughout his career including 31 already this season.
‘Snacks’ was apparently considered expendable this year after the horrid 1-6 by the G-Men.
