Detroit got rid of troubled quarterback Joey Harrington only hours after he asked to be traded. The New York Jets traded their number 4 pick to the Detroit Lions for Joey Harrington and the number 9 pick. " I think we got a Pro Bowl quarterback and a top 10 pick out of the deal " said Eric Mangini. " This kid could win us some Superbowls. Not next year or the year after. I'm talking this year fellas. He's good" said Mangini.
Detroit was satisfied with recieving the number 4 pick and getting rid of what they thought might be a team distraction. " Its hard for me to get rid of a player that i hand picked myself. I thought the world of Joey. He had a great arm, great legs, pretty eyes. Its tough letting go, but the Lions organization must move on" said Matt Millen. Millen may have tipped his hand later on in the day during his reaction with the media. " Theirs alot of options we have with the number 2 pick overall in the draft. Right now i really like Santonio Holmes from OSU".
