Suddenly I am getting worried about the Harrington talks.

Cincy is getting close to a contract also.
The Dolphins and Lions took a pause from the Joey Harrington trade negotiations Monday but the teams are expected to resume talks today. At this juncture, the quarterback seems ready to go to either Miami or Cincinnati.
The Dolphins and Harrington's agents "seem to be in the same ballpark," on a contract, according to a source close to the negotiations, but an NFL source said Harrington and the Bengals also are close on a potential contract.
Harrington's agents have permission to negotiate with both teams.
But nothing can be completed without the Lions agreeing to a trade, and that is holding things up now.
The Lions want a sixth-round pick or better, but the Dolphins, handicapped because they don't own a sixth- or fifth-rounder this year, seem willing to give one of their three seventh-rounders.
It is unclear if the sides could agree to compensation involving multiple seventh-rounders or a pick in the 2007 draft.
The Bengals remain a strong contender to land Harrington because they have their full complement of draft picks.
Denver and Kansas City have also shown interest in Harrington.
