Marinelli says Harrington isn't with us

Had Pittsburgh not been able to resign Charlie Batch, I could have seen Harrington as a suitable backup for Big Ben ... but I wouldn't have given up anything more than a 7th rounder for him -- and then only if desperate.

 

Trade value right now after beating the guy unmercifully in the press for a year and then signing two replacements before bothering to cut him? Nobody will trade for him ... they'll just wait for the inevitable cut.

I think there is zero trade value since teams know he will be released by June 15. Maybe something happens on draft day, but I doubt it. Joey is due a roster bonus in June. Any team that he is traded to is responsible for that unless he renegotiates. I don't see that happening.

 

Detroit is picking up any extra draft picks or players for Joey's departure. :D

 

:D

If I were Harrington, I'd "steer clear: of STL.....

If Harrington folds his resume into the shape of a football, and throws it from Detroit aiming for St. Louis, it has just as good a chance of landing short in Indy. right in Chicago, left in Nashville, or long in Kansas City.

Joey's contract is huge. Any team that wants him will want him for a backup, and no team is going to want to pay his current salary. Plus, is Detroit really interested in accelerating all of Harrington's cap hit to this year for a measly 7th round pick?

He might actually be a good fit in KC as a backup.

 

I think he does have talent, and let's face it, Detroit hasn't exactly been an offensive juggernaut over the years.

True. However, I think Harrington was as much the cause of that situation as he was a victim of it.

I'm on board with the fact that Harrington might be worth a 5th or a 6th as a player on a team either needing a backup or competition for their starter.

 

I think he has some ability, but he may be shot psychologically; he also appears to lack some of the necessary leadership skills a top-tier QB needs.

Rumors flying around here in Minnesota too about "whether it would be a good idea" to grab Harrington as a backup to Johnson.  Nothing from the team, just media speculation.

Dear God,

 

Please, please, please never let Joey be part of the Vikings organization. I promise I will be good.

 

Sincerely,

Delicious

 

P.S. If he does come to MN(as anything but an opponent) please strike me dead where I stand. Thanks

If I had to choose between prominently hanging a Bea Arthur bikini poster in my bed room or watching Joey Harrington QB my favorite team, I'd take the Bea Arther poster.
