Didn't see this anywhere and found it instertesting that it conflcits with the Joey sucks and is out crap we've read the past few weeks.

Lions management got caught up in hoping Joey Harrington would embrace the new coaching staff and return to the team.
Instead, three days into a quarterback orientation camp in March, Harrington told president Matt Millen that he wanted out.
Harrington's statement, issued Wednesday by his agent, David Dunn , that he will play only for Miami has killed his value on the trade market. Millen has a close relationship with Harrington and should have seen it coming.
Now, Millen is left to beg Miami for a sixth-round draft pick -- from a team that desperately needs quarterback insurance and knows that no later than mid-June it can have Harrington as a free agent.
Also, although any official contact with Harrington would run Miami afoul of NFL rules on tampering, the Dolphins have signed tight end Justin Peele -- who has remained one of Harrington's closest friends from their playing days at Oregon.
Whether by accident or design, Harrington's parting shot to the Lions was a completion. He stuck it to them.

So Joey wanted out, not that the Lions knew he lacked talent or like the Lion fan thread knocking Joey. I love this, Millen now looks even more clueless and Joey should end up being a fin for cheap!
 
I couldnt care less for the Lions. If we get Harrington it means weve got a solid backup and a half decent starter if Daunte cant go at the start of the season. I am wondering if Harrington knows that hes wanted in Miami going by our Poll.

Yeah it's funny to see the Lions fans posting on Joey. I have wondered since he is so bad, why did he win fans choice for "Offensive Player of the Year" for the Lions in 2005?
 
Nah...even though many of us hate Spielman, he at least tried to create a team despite his idiocy. Millen has tried to kill an NFL franchise and has 95% succeded in doing so.

I have a hard time believing that Detroit would have signed two high-priced FA QB's if they wanted Harrington to stay.

Still, I think they made a mistake.

Ah, Joey wanted out 3 days into the new coaching staff, when were the two QBs signed?
 
Joey wanted out BEFORE the 2 QB's were signed.....they were only signed after he went to Millen wanting out.

What I read was that he was pissed that Martz was basically tearing him down in order to build him back up again by learning the Martz system. Joey had worked hard in the west-coast offense and didn't want to start all over again, so he was basically being an a$$ during the first few days that Martz was going over new stuff.........going through the motions half-heartedly.

Joey clearly wanted out.
 
We should do more business with the Lions!!!

Maybe we can get our 2nd back for Berlin!!!!
