Dallas Cowboys plan to sign Jon Kitna as their third-string quarterback

The Dallas Cowboys are bringing back Jon Kitna to be their third-string quarterback, according to a source.

Kitna played 15 seasons in the NFL, his last three with the Cowboys before retiring after the 2011 season. He’s been out of the league the last two years as he returned to his high school alma mater — Lincoln High School in Tacoma, Wash. – to be a football coach and math teacher.

Kitna, 41, was a locker room leader for the Cowboys during his time as Romo’s backup.

On Tuesday at Valley Ranch, the Cowboys also worked out quarterbacks David Carr, John Skelton, Tyler Thigpen and Caleb Hanie, who was born in Dallas and played high school football at Forney.

Hmm... I was hoping they'd sign CSU star, Caleb Hanie.

1. Per ESPN Sports Center its a done deal.

An attempt to confuse a college coach or Chip Kelly.

2. They made an interesting point on ESPN this morning about the move to bring Kitna in.

If on the off chance that he does play, he would at least be familiar with the system. And then he also knows the receivers and the many of the others on the team.

No one else brings that to the mix.

3. I see

Dallas is having some QB trouble, too. How the mighty have fallen; 5 titles, but no playoff win in over a decade. It's kinda sad to see how much they've fallen, and I empathize with them. Just like the Raiders, they're having QB issues, a playoff drought, and they have a crazy and aging owner trying to please a passionate fanbase, just like how it was with Al Davis before he died.

4. Kitna is donating his paycheck

from the Cowboys to the HS where he's been teaching/coaching. Sigh. If he plays its gonna be hard to root agaisnt the guy
