Leave it to the J-train to bring NFL news to a NCAA men's basketball party but......

Tom Kowalski of the Detroit area radio station 1130 WDFN "The Fan," has reported Joey Harrington may be out of a Lions uniform earlier than June 15th.

Yesterday the Lions signed veteran quarterback Jon Kitna to a four year deal giving the Lions four quarterbacks. Two weeks ago, the Lions signed journeyman Shaun King.

King has not played since 2002, and that stat may not change much as King has probably been brought in as merely a training camp arm.

The Lions are also involved in free agency talks with Josh McCown, however the Oakland Raiders are also interested. If McCown is signed, the end of Joey Ball Game time in Detroit may be near.

Second year quarterback Dan Orlovsky is also in the mix and seems a stable young option for Detroit.

Come pre-season the quarterback depth chart should look as follows:

1. Kitna 2. McCown 3. Orlovsky

 Only time will tell if this Harrington's hour glass is empty or if this is a mere rumor. If it's a rumor, expect a nice battle for the quarterback position between Kitna and Harrington
