In the wake of the Lions’ decision to place quarterback Jon Kitna on injured reserve, some league insiders aren’t happy with the fact that, only days before shutting him down, the Lions were trying to pawn off Kitna via trade. Sure, everyone knows that Kitna has a back injury. But the concern (as it was explained to us) is that it’s bad form to try to trade a guy who is hurt. Even if the Lions soon release Kitna from IR, the fact that they slid him into the category that suggests a season-ending injury on the heels of trying to get someone else to take him off their hands will hurt the credibility of the current front office.
