""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."

"The Dolphins are offering a sixth-round choice in 2007. The Lions have been asking for a third- or fourth-round choice in this year's draft. Now, it's up to Millen to make a concession in his demands or hold up any move until June 15 when Harrington is due."

Woah...I wonder what this means for Culpepper? Are they just going to use Harrington until Pep gets better? Or is this a long term QB controversy type deal?

I know we have a deal in principle agreed to with him on a contract. We are just waiting for the Lions to lower their asking price or release him. He will simply start until Culpepper is ready and then be the backup.

Glad we get to face him week 2.

Harrington blows. He's not even a good backup. I hope the deal gets done.

Re: Harrington to Fins?

at first i thought it was weird that harrington would go to a job where he was the obvious second string, especially when there are so many teams who don't have legit QBs (although I suppose harrington isn't a legit QB). but then, if harrington sucks culpepper steps in and harrington just holds a clipboard and collects a check. and if he does well, he can push for the starting job and/or a raise. it's really a no pressure situation for him.

Yeah, I guess we should have signed Nall to be our backup.

True. But if Culchoker plays like he did the first half dozen games last year Harrington could be the starter.:snicker2:

Re: Harrington to Fins?

I wouldn't be surprised if Culpepper never regains is old form, and Harrington continues to suck. Then a controversy ensues and the lame fin fans final realize that they both suck, ala Flutie and Johnson.

Nall is an unknown. Harrington is known. Known to suck.

Re: Harrington to Fins?

may as well give Wes Welker a shot!!!!!!! with the way culpepper played last year and the way harrington has always played, him and cleo are probably their best bets.

I guess if one was to put a postive spin on things, we'd have A LOT of tape to show his negative play. A LOT of tape, so maybe the staff can help him work as kinks as our 2nd QB. He has been given a lot of opportunites to succeed with some of the offensive talent he's had in Detroit, but maybe the cliche different place/different environment will be benefiical. See, Bills fans aren't the only spin doctors when it comes to new players. j/k

I know you're kidding with the last statement, but Phin fans are the absolute worst at spinning negatives into good! Mularkey is all of sudden a great coach, Harrington is all of a sudden an outstanding QB and so on and so on! Just had to say that because reading some of these Phin fan responses really make me laugh. It's even better if you go their site!
