Well, the countdown now begins.

After the Lions tried to get the best of the Dolphins by threatening to trade Joey Harrington to Cleveland, the Dolphins are turning the heat up on the Lions. They've pulled their offer of a sixth-round choice in 2007 for Harrington. Instead, they will wait until he is cut. The Lions complained to the NFL that Harrington had a deal with the Dolphins, but he was given permission to seek a trade and work out a new contract to fit under the cap. The Lions hoped for the Browns to bail them out by trading them a fourth- or fifth-round choice Sunday. The Browns changed their minds when Harrington said he was going to Miami. If the Lions don't cut Harrington by June 15, they owe him a $4 million roster bonus. The only thing Harrington could do to speed up the process is show up at the Lions facility and try to practice.

Only way we don't get Harrington is if the Lions decide to pay him that big bonus. We all know that won't happen.

Joey, see you in June. :up:
 
hopefully millen will call and ask for a7th
 
The lions have zero leverage anymore and Millen knows it. He was acting like a whinny little child when he went to the NFL about the contract negotiations because he didn't get what he wanted. He could have at least gotten something, but in the end he gets nothing. I really do feel kind of sorry for lions fans. The guy proves time and time again that he does not have any idea how to be an NFL GM. Thanks for the news Nubs.
 
BAHAHAHAH! I love it!!! If only I could figure out a way to get Millen to Vegas with me!
 
He should show up there and practice so that he isnt rusty when he gets to our camp.
 
Good sign that we don't have to give up a draft pick in 2007 now. I'd like to keep a full arsenal of draft picks just ONCE lol.

This may also bring Cleo Lemon one step close to winning the backup job away from Harrington. A small step, and it still puts him at the disadvantage overall...but I don't have a high opinion of Joey Harrington so I think Joey will blow it in very Feeley-like fashion to where Cleo can win it by actively playing well.

Don't. By and large they believe Miami tampered and that Millen is right to go to the NFL. He's an idiot and they're fools.
 
More proof of Millen's idiocy:

Lions | Team signs Fletcher
Mon, 1 May 2006 12:28:30 -0700

The Detroit Lions announced they have signed unrestricted free agent CB Jamar Fletcher (Chargers) to a one-year deal. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
 
The funniest part is Matt Millen gave Joey permission to speak with the Dolphins, and then after Joey works out a deal, Matt gets all upset about it....what did Matt think was going to happen when Joey met with the Phins? Joey wasn't in Miami to play golf or talk about the weather. Millen is dumb.
