I was just reading through the press confrence of Coach Saban, and he said that we aquired a quarterback with a sith round pick. It must be a done deal!!
Sweet.

I think he meant Lemon, since the sixth round pick was used in the deal to get him.

Apparently Saban offered the Lions a sixth rounder in 2007.

Not yet, according to the latest headlines.  Harrington has agreed to terms on a contract with the Dolphins, but that is contingent on the Lions trading or releasing him.

The remark that NYFan referenced was Saban saying "We took a guy, as a fifth-round pick last year in the supplemental draft, which we were pleased with the progress that he made last year and the contribution he made to the team as a defensive lineman and we ended up getting another backup quarterback with the sixth-round pick ".
He was talking about Lemon.

Yeah, you're probably right.  But the latest headlines are that Millen wants a 3rd or 4th for Harrington, and Saban offered only a 6th, in '07.

Harrington has veto power over any trade so Millen has three choices:
-Cut hime
-Keep him and pay him the $4 million roster bonus
-Trade him to Miami for what theyr'e offering

Quote from: ESPN Insider
Harrington happy to head to Miami
posted: Thursday, April 20, 2006  |  Feedback

So, Joey Harrington stuck it to Detroit one last time when he declared yesterday that he looks "forward to joining the Miami Dolphins whenever I am released or a trade is completed." Harrington and the Dolphins have already agreed to a two-year deal for $2 million per, and since Harrington has veto control over where he's traded, the Lions are stuck.

They can either trade Harrington to Miami now for what the Dolphins are offering -- a (cough, cough) sixth-round pick in 2007 -- or release him before June 15, when Harrington is due a $4 million roster bonus. This isn't what Matt Millen had in mind, of course. He'd hoped for a first-day pick in this year's draft in exchange his onetime franchise QB who he drafted third overall in 2002. Now, what leverage does he have?

I saw on ESPN that Harrington has agreed in principle to a deal with the Phins. They were saying that Detroit can either profit from this by taking whatever the Phins offer (6 or 7th round pick) or get nothing because they will have to cut him in June.

The Lions don't seem to have a lot of leverage here, except holding on to Harrington right up until June 14 (the day before the $4M roster bonus is due) thereby screwing it for anyone who would want to use Harrington as a starter in the first few games of the season... ie us.

You sure he wasn't talking about Brock Berlin?

Hmm, nevermind, Berlin was undrafted - I thought we sent a 7th to SD for Lemon...?  I guess I'm wrong

I'm a Lions fan and unfortunately Millen is probably trying to use this as leverage...I just want this deal done as well.  I wish we can package Millen with that deal.
