The Dallas Cowboys may have gotten a little better with the signing of John Kitna of the backup quarterback for Tony Romo, emphasis on the word "little". In essence, Kitna would offer a better opportunity for the Cowboys to stay on track should Romo go down with an injury as he did this past season.
When Romo missed three games last season because of a broken pinkie finger, the Cowboys went 1-2 and leaned heavily on their defense to beat Tampa Bay 13-9 for the lone victory in that stretch. The Cowboys, who began the season as a Super Bowl favorite, instead finished 9-7 and missed the playoffs.
Dallas released 17-year veteran quarterback Brad Johnson on Thursday.
Kitna, who played for the Detroit Lions last season, was expected to make just shy of $2 million this season.
The Dallas Cowboys odds to win the 2010 Super Bowl were listed early at 10/1 at SBG Global.
