After spending two months with the Seattle Seahawks, veteran nose tackle Damon Harrison wants to move on and has asked the franchise to release him.

According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Harrison demanded release after discovering that he’ll be inactive for Sunday’s game against the LA Rams. The Seahawks intend to grant the player his wish but reportedly hope he might change his mind.

Harrison signed with Seattle in October, initially joining the team’s practice squad. He played in all of the Seahawks’ six games before Sunday, totaling 138 snaps. The 32-year-old veteran managed one forced fumble and nine tackles.

Harrison addressed his demand on social media, replying to a Twitter user who asked him not to leave Seattle.

“I came here to help, and I’ve done that, and now it’s time to move on,” Harrison wrote.

He then followed that up with another tweet in which he explained that he understands the Seahawks’ position and their decision to give playing time to some younger players instead of him.

Before arriving in Seattle, Harrison spent time with the New York Jets, NY Giants, and Detroit Lions. Entering the league as an undrafted free agent out of William Penn, Harrison played 123 NFL games and totaled 494 tackles and 11 sacks. He has a First-Team All-Pro nod from 2016.

Veteran defensive tackle Damon Harrison finally managed to get the extension he wanted from Detroit Lions for the entire offseason. Lions announced on Thursday that they have signed Harrison to a one-year extension which will keep him with the organization through 2021.

Although the team didn’t release the financial terms of the deal, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Harrison’s extension is worth $11 million. He will also now receive $12 million in guaranteed salary over the next two years.  

Earlier in the year, Harrison decided to sit out the team’s offseason activities including mandatory minicamp, in order to get a new contract or get the old one revised. However, he still decided to join the team’s training camp without a new deal in place, which eventually paid off.

Damon Harrison played 10 games with Lions last year and contributed with 50 tackles, 3.5 sacks, one pass defended and one forced fumble. He started the season with New York Giants, where he played seven games and had 31 tackles and one forced fumble.

Harrison, who also played with New York Jets early in his career, has 436 career tackles alongside 9.0 sacks, four forced fumbles and one interception. His professional career highlights include First-Team All-Pro selection in 2016.
