Rumor Mill: Kitna Traded?

This link goes to a premium story, but the headline pretty much says it all. Rumors are swirling that the Lions have traded Jon Kitna. I'm sure we will find out whether or not this is true in the next day or so.

Wow, that would be a surprise.

I don’t subscribe so I don’t know the details of what they are reporting but i’m surprised that someone would trade for kitna when it was assumed by many that we might release him soon. It will be interesting to hear what the rumored trade involved.

Anyone have any details?

I have the details of the story

But since it’s premium info I can’t share them. I’m sure it’ll be public knowledge soon enough.

The specifics aren't out aside from what team supposedly got him

Getting rid of Kitna at all is a good deal. Getting something in return is great.

I say that because Kitna would have received a roster bonus next month

Which is why I am surprised

that someone would trade for him. Everything I read suspected that we would release him before then.

suprised as well...

all news was that he was a goner. i can’t believe somebody would have traded for him. i can’t imagine there would be much competition for him on the open market either. if it is true, then definitely good for us.
