The Lions and Cowboys struck a deal on the second day of free
agency with Dallas acquiring veteran quarterback Jon Kitna in
exchange for cornerback Anthony Henry. Kitna played in four games
for the Lions in 2008, throwing for 758 yards on 68-of-120 passing
with five touchdowns and five interceptions. Kitna landed on the
injured reserve list with a back injury in October, ending his
three-year tenure in Detroit. The Central Washington product is a
12-year NFL veteran with a five-year stint in Cincinnati after
spending his first four years in the league with Seattle. The 36-
year-old has thrown for 27,293 yards and 152 touchdowns with a
59.8 completion percentage and 151 interceptions over 128 career
games. Kitna is entering the final year of a four-year contract
signed in 2006 with his remaining $1.95 million base salary to be
covered by Dallas.
