Defensive tackle Damon "Snacks" Harrision is staying in Detroit for one more year.

On Wednesday NFL Network reported that 30-year-old signed a one year $11 million extension with the Lions.

Detroit acquired Harrison in a trade with the Giants last October. In his 10 games with the team he made 50 tackles and 3.5 sacks.

The veteran defensive lineman was signed by the Jets as an undrafted rookie in 2012. He spent four years with the Jets before signing with the Giants in 2016. He spent part of three seasons with the Giants before the trade last season.

In his six year NFL career the First Team All Pro has amassed 436 tackles, nine sacks, four forced fumbles, seven pass deflections and one interception.

The new deal locks Harrison in with the Lions through the 2021 season.
