Harrington Is Out
from WDIV Detroit Channel 4


The Detroit Lions are parting ways with Joey Harrington after four turbulent seasons in which the former third overall draft pick went from franchise savior to fans' scourge.

Coach Rod Marinelli told reporters Monday: "We've made a decision to move on. At this moment, he's not with us. That's been my decision."

Taking Harrington's spot under center most likely will be Jon Kitna or Josh McCown. The two former NFL starters are expected to battle for the top quarterbacking job in Detroit.
