Bob Quinn’s front office staff in Detroit continues to take shape.
Friday, the Lions' general manager hired former New York Giants director of football operations Matt Harriss as his new vice president of football administration. It’s believed Harriss will have a big role in managing the Lions’ salary cap, though Quinn will ultimately oversee the cap.
Harriss was in New York for 10 seasons after joining the organization just prior to the 2006 NFL Draft. In his first year with the Giants, Harriss assisted former general manager Ernie Accorsi, who was in his final season with the team.
