As you have probably heard by now, Detroit Lions‘ DL Damon ‘Snacks’ Harrison has elected to skip the team’s mandatory minicamp, which is underway.

Lions’ head coach Matt Patricia has made it clear that this is not something that is too uncommon and he is focusing on the players who are at practice.
That being said, it is no mystery that Harrison, who has two years remaining on his current contract, wants to get paid. So the big question is, is it possible that this holdout could carry into training camp and even the regular season if Snacks and the Lions are not able to work out a deal?
Well, on Wednesday night, Harrison’s replies to a couple of tweets may have given away his future plans as far as holding out goes.
Here are the tweets I am referring to.

Nation, what do you think Harrison means by these tweets? Do you think he will continue to hold out until he gets an extension? Should the Lions extend him with two years remaining on his contract?
