The Joey Relief Fund

Joey Harrington has made something clear. "Without a doubt, this is where I want to be," Harrington said. "I love this organization. I love the coaches, the players. This is a classy organization and a great place to be."

Harrington has proposed restructuring his contract to give salary relief to the Lions, and remain the starting QB for a while. Harrington has already had preliminary talks with Matt Millen, and will continue to work it out during the off-season.

Harrington has been the subject of poor throwing, and inability to win this season more-so than previous seasons. His honeymoon is over, and the fans want results.

There is no guaranty that -- even with a new contract -- he will remain the starting QB next year.

San Diego has expressed interest in keeping Drew Brees, but has a lot of money tied up in Phillip Rivers. Kurt Warner has mentioned Cincinnati, which would put Jon Kitna on the market.

Millen, take the discount. Let him cut his pay, and let you use the money to improve the team. If you have to betray him and bring in a veteran, then please do so. If nothing else, it would motivate him to improve, or cause a winning QB to get the job.

I'd take Brees, then Kitna, what would you do?
