Damon ‘Snacks’ Harrison Would Help Bolster Green Bay’s Defense
When Kenny Clark went down with an injury, Packers fans immediately took to Twitter and Reddit with calls for Damon ‘Snacks’ Harrison. The former Giants and Lions defensive tackle. He is a space-eater inside that is great against the run and could free up Clark to do other things on the football field. Harrison told reporters that he wasn’t interested in Green Bay due to his knees. The cold, harsh weather of Green Bay would not work with his knee problems. That was fair and most Packers fans gave up the dream. But then news broke in the fourth quarter last night that Harrison will be visiting Green Bay this week after he visits Seattle.
Free agent DT Damon Harrison tells me he's now visiting with the #Seahawks on Tuesday. "Then I have a visit with Green Bay on Wednesday," Harrison told me.

This could be a major upgrade to Green Bay’s defensive line. Snacks could be inserted in two weeks if ready and push Clark out to the end position where things become a lot harder for defenses. Not sure it’s the 4-0 start or the Packers’ doctors that are selling him on the idea of Green Bay. It might be a lot harder to make a case for him to be a member of the Packers since he already came out with a reason against it.
Harrison could be using it as leverage for Seattle, who is contending with Green Bay for the number one spot. It may force John Schneider’s hand to get a deal done on Tuesday so Snacks doesn’t leave without an offer. If he does, the opportunity is ripe for Green Bay. You typically like being the first team, but with Green Bay playing Monday night, they didn’t have that luxury. Seahawks adding Snacks would be a big boost to their porous defense but doesn’t help their putrid secondary.
A guy named Snacks is perfect for Wisconsin and Green Bay. I don’t know if that counts for anything, but it should.
