Miami, Detroit talk
BY JASON COLE

The Dolphins and the Detroit Lions have been in discussions during the weekend that could result in quarterback Joey Harrington being traded to the team in time to begin organized training activities in Miami by May 15, according to two sources.

The Dolphins had pulled an offer of a 2007 sixth-round pick for Harrington off the table earlier this week after Lions president Matt Millen wrongly complained that the Dolphins had violated the collective bargaining agreement in reaching a restructured contract with Harrington.

The Dolphins were prepared to wait until Harrington gets cut by Detroit in June to sign him. However, both sides appear to have relented.

The Dolphins had originally offered a seventh-round pick this year, then offered the pick in 2007. It's unknown what the deal might be at this point.

Dolphins coach Nick Saban declined to comment about the situation until the matter is resolved.

RAMS INTERESTED?

Saban said he was unaware of whether general manager Randy Mueller had received interest from St. Louis for a similar job there that would give Mueller final say over personnel.

The Rams' interest was reported Saturday night in profootballtalk.com.

Mueller and St. Louis coach Scott Linehan are longtime friends who have known each other from their time growing up in the Northwest.

THIS AND THAT

Agent Leigh Steinberg said no resolution has yet to be worked out between the team and running back Ricky Williams about the chance for Williams to play football in Toronto. However, a decision could be reached by today. Said Steinberg: ``We continue to seek a consensus decision on the matter.''

• Defensive tackle Rodrique Wright, a seventh-round pick from Texas, said he was leaning toward having surgery after seeing a magnetic resonance imaging test on his left shoulder and consulting with the Dolphins. ''I trust in them, and I've already seen the first MRI, so it could possibly be something that can mess me up throughout my career,'' Wright said. ``So I'm just looking at the extent of my career, how it would affect me. So it's probably the best if it's needed.''

• Quarterback Marcus Vick did not take any snaps at quarterback, but worked out at wide receiver Sunday.

I think Michael Vick should try out at receiver too. He'll never be a good QB.

Professor

I don't think he makes it as a receiver either, but he would have a better shot than a QB. LOL

Davey

Yeah, I would try to get him in the defensive backfield also. Hes built like a corner.

I dont think Mike Vick should be a WR. He has one of the strongest arms in the NFL. And maybe if he gets a little bit of weapons other than Alge Crumpler, he might me get a little better.

i dont think mike vick should play ne other position than QB. a lot of ppl say hes not a good player but he has one of the best arms in the nfl. he jus needs to work on his accuracy and that would help bring the rest of his game 2gether.

BigOrangenation33

vick needs to stay put at QB...he has a good arm but has no touch wut so ever, if he can somehow work on that....he could be great...if u put his arm strength with some touch/ accuracy and then throw in his athletic ability to run the ball and make plays on his own he could be one of the best in the NFL...another thing he needs is some help..other than dunn and crumpler he has no one to throw to...

Professor

first off guys this thread is in the miami dolphin's forum, that should clue you guys into the fact that this thread is about Marcus Vick and not Mike. The article clearly states marcus vick.
