The Cowboys have acquired 36-year old quarterback Jon Kitna from the Lions for 32-year old cornerback Anthony Henry. Kitna played in 4 games for the Lions last season and he completed 68 of 120 passes (56.7%) for 758 yards with 5 TD passes and 5 interceptions (72.2 QB Rating). He also carried the football 6 times for 34 yards (5.7 ypc) last season. Kitna’s season was ended after four games last year because of a back injury but he claims to be healthy now. Kitna should be a huge upgrade over Brad Johnson as Tony Romo’s backup in 2009. Kitna has now played in 128 games in his NFL career and he has completed 2,462 of 4,114 (59.8%) passes for 27,293 yards with 152 TD passes and 151 interceptions (76.6 QB Rating). Kitna has also carried the football 279 times for 811 yards (2.9 ypc) with 10 TD runs in his career.
The Cowboys might miss the 32-year old Anthony Henry who made a lot of big plays in his four seasons in Dallas. Henry played in all 16 games for the Cowboys last season and he made 50 tackles, defensed 5 passes, had 2 sacks, forced 1 fumble and he intercepted 1 pass. Henry played in 57 games in his career with the Cowboys and in those games he made 215 tackles, defensed 54 passes, had 2 sacks, forced 2 fumbles and he intercepted 12 passes (2 of which he returned for TDs).
