Lions | Millen supports moving on without Harrington; trying to trade him
Mon, 27 Mar 2006 05:57:50 -0800

The Detroit Free Press reports in his first comments since head coach Rod Marinelli declared the Detroit Lions were moving on at quarterback without QB Joey Harrington; team president Matt Millen expressed a mixture of resignation and regret. "Nothing you can do about it," Millen said. "He's not the first one that didn't work and probably won't be the last. So we have to make what we have work. That's what we've got to do." Millen is trying to trade Harrington, and there is interest in Harrington around the league. But Harrington's contract is an obstacle. Harrington is due a $4 million roster bonus June 15 and his salary is $4.45 million this year and next. Harrington needs to reduce his salary for a trade to work. Apparently Harrington's agent, David Dunn, isn't cooperating. He has been asking teams for about what Harrington is making now.

Chiefs | Team remains interested in Harrington

Adam Teicher, of the Kansas City Star, reports Kansas City Chiefs president/general manager Carl Peterson said the Chiefs remain interested in Detroit Lions QB Joey Harrington. Peterson and Lions' team president Matt Millen are expected to talk about Harrington at the NFL owner's meetings this week. The Chiefs appear interested enough that they would give the Lions a choice in the first three rounds of next month's draft if they can work out details of a new contract with Harrington and his agent.

Dolphins | Team calls about Harrington

Armando Salguero and Jason Cole, of the Miami Herald, report the Miami Dolphins have called the agent for Detroit Lions QB Joey Harrington to express their interest in acquiring Harrington. A source said Miami officials called agent David Dunn to gauge Harrington's availability should the Lions waive Harrington before June 15 when he is due a $4.5 million bonus. It is likely the Dolphins and Lions will talk about Harrington's availability this week at the NFL annual meeting.
