The Facts:
According to sources close to the situation, the Lions are considering releasing Harrington in late February, prior to paying him a scheduled $3 million roster bonus. Team president Matt Millen reportedly wants to bring Harrington back but the team's offensive coaching staff wants to go in another direction.  Reported by Booth Newspapers

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
After Sherm Lewis was forced out of his offensive coordinator job one day after the regular season ended on Jan. 2, he wrote letters to Millen, team owner William Clay Ford and vice chairman Bill Ford Jr., stating that the Lions would never win with Harrington playing quarterback. ... Members of the Lions front office, coaching staff and scouting department are expected to meet several times over the next five weeks to discuss whether Harrington will return. ... Not surprisingly, the Lions deny the report.
