REPORT: KITNA TO IR

Posted by Mike Florio on October 14, 2008, 9:54 a.m.
With no teams interested in giving the Lions whatever they wanted in exchange for the rights to quarterback Jon Kitna, the Lions reportedly have decided to place the veteran quarterback on injured reserve.
Dave Birkett of the Oakland Press reports that the decision has been made, and that it will be implemented later in the day.
But Kitna could be released from IR, once the team concludes that his back injury is healed. At that point, Kitna could sign with another team (after passing through waivers), or he could file a grievance aimed at recovering the balance of his $2.95 million base salary for 2008.
On Monday, Kitna said that he expects his back to be healed within a couple of weeks.

So much for that Kitna/Williams for Flo/1st rounder trade.....


Now Detroit, do the SMART thing and deal you only valuable option (Roy) while you can.......their management should have big Ls tatooed on their foreheads (L is not for Lions either)


EDIT: Sorry jcblanco22 , just saw you posted another article stating the same thing about Kitna, please merge Mods.

Dan Orlovsky era has started. They are not trading Roy. And if so - Why?

Nors, this topic has been beat to death as to why it would benefit them.

Anywho:

1. they aren't going nowhere this year
2. build for the future
3. he's a free agent next year
4. tagging him is a gamble plus the cost of tagging
5. Roy wants to come home

blah, blah, blah

This is the Lions so who knows what to expect?????

And will be ending before the season is over.
