This offseason the Detroit Lions got themselves a new salary cap guy. It’s a move that most football fans won’t care about, but one that could have a big impact on the team itself behind the scenes. Gone is Matt Harriss, in is Mike Disner. The Lions have already signed a few contracts with Disner as their Vice President of Football Administration, but the Lions’ two-year deal with Romeo Okwara highlights what Disner’s experience as an NFL Management Council Labor Operations Manager and Coordinator brings to the team.
On the surface, Okwara’s deal looks pretty ordinary.
