Flip_Side Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Joey Harrington finally decided he wants Miami to be his new home. Now he's asking Lions president Matt Millen to give him the chance to go there. Harrington, who has been given permission to shop for a trade, told the Lions on Wednesday he wants to go the Dolphins and is firm about the decision. Because he is due a $4 million bonus in June, Harrington has some control over his future because no team wants to pick up his current contract. After working out a two-year agreement with the Dolphins more than a week ago, Harrington asked Millen to release him or make a trade with the Dolphins so he can move on with his career. "I look forward to joining the Miami Dolphins whenever I am released or a trade is completed," Harrington said Wednesday in a statement issued by his agent, David Dunn. "The Dolphins are an ascending team with great coaching and I can't wait to get started. I certainly appreciate all that the Ford family and Matt Millen did for me. Now that Harrington has made his decision, the ball is in Millen's court. I'm happy about this, I think he was the best QB still a Free Agent.

Furd Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Seriously Dolphin fans. All Harrington needs to be effective is a good offensive line, good receivers, a good running game, a good defense and the right offensive scheme. That's it.

Puddy Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 There one o'clock on one Sunday The linebackers rush from inside There is an old man, who paid for me Form from of love to its stabilization means and for fans He says, "son, can you play the role of QB"? I am not really safe, as she goes But it is sad and it is sweet and I could do it completely As I the stawberries of another man carried Lalala, de de there Lala, de de there there there Sing to us a Song, you are the piano man Sing to us a Song this evening Well all are we in the tendency for a melody And you have us feeling well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe someday he'll except his role as being the best backup QB in the game. But then again, he no longer has the Lions curse lingering over him, unless of course 'once infected, always infected.'

'canes2004 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 He's signed as a back-up to CPep. Big deal. You cannot judge the value of a player who has been on a bad team such as the black hole that is the Detroit Lions. Of all the players out there, I would of prefered Ramsey in that role but at least we're getting a QB with NFL expereience. I think the Dolphins and us the fans, are hoping that his role is just as a backup and that CPep will be able to play by Week 4 or so. Believe me were not jumping for joy over the thought of Harrington being our starter for the whole year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duchess Jack Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 This kicks tukus, although I won't get excited until things are done. I just don't buy it yet. When ever has Joey been held accountable (kind of like Cpep). We just landed 2 QBs who could be amazing with the right coaching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantasy Jesus Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 So Harrington goes from being the #3 overall pick in 2002 to now being traded for a 2007 6th rd pick. Brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I dislike Harrington, it would just be nice to have 3 QBs worth something on the roster (and if would make me feel better about the Feeley experiment) Is he a big guy? Mobile?
