Lions acquire S Duron Harmon from Patriots in trade

[D6]

Lions continue their raid on ex-Patriots players by reportedly trading for S Duron Harmon

………………

Assuming the trade is a swap of late Round Draft picks only, this is a great trade for the Lions. The Patriots have major salary cap issues. An illustration of this is the high amount of their quality UFAs agreeing to contracts with other teams in the legal tampering period. Including, Jamie Collins and Danny Shelton with the Lions.

Duron Harmon's base salary for 2020 is $ 3.5 million. Based on Harmon's skills and performance level over several seasons, and that he only turned 29 in January, the Lions should get good value from Harmon in the 2020 season. That much more with his familiarity to Matt Patricia, the Lions Defensive system that has been used under Patricia, some of the Lions Assistant Coaches, some Lions teammates, and Harmon being on 3 Super Bowl winning teams ( and a 4th that reached the Super Bowl ).

………………

Duron Harmon's track records of durability and playmaking are much needed if they carry over to his time with the Lions.

Lions safety Duron Harmon opens up about racism, protests, what he wants from the NFL

…..


There are forms of racism and discrimination against people of all races. Duron Harmon and others that went through similar situations he described shouldn't have. Yet, the same for those that are denied opportunity because of racial and /or religion quotas. It's not a one way street.

New safety Duron Harmon considered opting out. The Lions convinced him to play.

The Lions have earned plenty of bad publicity. But with the COVID-19 situation, so far the Lions organization appears to be doing a great job.

Lions’ Duron Harmon: ‘The whole building is frustrated’

This thread relates to the following thread:

Vikings 34, Lions 20: Game # 8 ( 2020 )

Duron Harmon needs to play with better self control as well. Throwing a punch following Dalvin Cook's 70 yard TD run is not leadership. The Lions got penalized, which resulted in the Vikings kicking off from the 50 yard line. Harmon was fortunate he wasn't ejected from the game. The Lions were already shorthanded at S, with Tracy Walker out going into the game and Will Harris going down in the 2nd Half.

10 players on the field = undiscipline
dumb penalties = undiscipline
players out of control = undiscipline

Against the Vikings, 3 and 1 in the 4th quarter, 34-20 with 4'13" to go, there was a remote chance to play for a comeback.
#58 Jamie Collins made a great play, shedding his block and tackling #25 Mattison.  He stopped him short of the 1st down but Mattison kept churning his legs.  #26 Harmon could have rallied and pushed Mattison backwards ... but no, he hesitated...and Mattison fell forward gaining the first down 
That would have been a more positive option to show his aggressiveness...

Frenchy, I looked at the 3rd and 1 play you mentioned again. Good observation regarding Duron Harmon not bring aggressive enough on the play. Maybe this is because of the foolish penalty that Harmon took earlier in the 4th QTR. Regardless, much more is needed from Harmon than the results of the combined two plays.
