Kitna in Detroit talking to Lions
By Mark Curnutte
Enquirer staff writer
The Detroit Lions confirmed late this afternoon that quarterback Jon Kitna is in Detroit talking with team executives about a free agent contract.
Kitna also is expected to visit with the New York Jets.
Kitna has been with the Bengals since the 2001 season. He spent the last two as backup to Carson Palmer. Kitna as has said he wants one more opportunity to start in the NFL. The Lions also are expected to enterain Josh McCown.
The odd element about the Lions' situation is the team appears to be committed to Joey Harrington. Lions quarterback Jeff Garcia, who won the job from Harrington in 2005, is expected to sign with the Eagles.
The Bengals appear poised to move on from Kitna. Dolphins quarterback Sage Rosenfels is scheduled to visit Sunday, his agent, Rich Smith, said today.
Also, a source close to Will Demps said the Baltimore Ravens free agent safety will visit the Bengals on Sunday and then travel to New York to meet with the Giants on Monday.

Post a Comment*Mark,
Do you get the feeling that Rosenfels and Demps may be the main targets?
Steve
Please let "rubber arm" Kitna go! He is good person with a dead arm! Small hands to drop the ball. Short arms to throw the ball. Great guy! Just "no arm." Did you see how the receivers responded to him vs. Pitts.? Everything was out of sinc as the receivers ran their routes & "waited for the ball." Well, the D.B.'s were there to recover & swat down the "dead ball."
i hate to say this but they need to get brees even though he is hurt take another year of poor play for long term relief in brees
