Back during March’s owners meetings, Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes noted that they have already had internal discussions about potentially re-signing veteran cornerback Amani Oruwariye to a long-term deal.
“Amani, with the ball production he had and just being a good teammate, he really developed as a leader,” Holmes said. “He’s going to be another one—he’s still a young guy—that as is often said, still has meat left on the bone. There’s still upside in him.”
On Wednesday, Oruwariye met with the media in the midst of offseason workouts, and while he didn’t provide an update on if there have been any talks with him about a new deal—he’s leaving that between the team and his agent—he did express his desire to sign a long-term deal with the team.
