Lions' Amani Oruwariye hoping to secure contract extension, build on last season's success

Allen Park — The Detroit Lions, under the stewardship of general manager Brad Holmes, have prioritized developing and retaining productive talent that fits the team's culture.

After re-signing key starters Frank Ragnow, Romeo Okwara, Tracy Walker and Charles Harris in recent months, it would appear cornerback Amani Oruwariye is among the next in line for a new deal.

Like Walker last season, Oruwariye appears content to dodge questions about his contract status as he enters the final year of his rookie deal.

"My focus has mostly been on just getting back around the guys," Oruwariye said Wednesday after one of the team's early OTA sessions.
