Green vs. Chiefs - Rd 1

[stlchief]

"In reality, if the Chiefs wanted to be jerks about it, they could drag it all the way until training camp," Green said. "That would hurt no one but me and my family. It would just be a real negative for us in terms of trying to get kids situated, finding a house and finding schools and all the things that families have to do."

I thought it would come to this. With no trade done and Green owed a ton of money, it would come down to who can make who look the worst -- and I believe Trent will lose this battle. Throwing the word "jerk" around is not likely to get you anywhere - Trent obviously didn't take negotiations 101 in college.

He is under contract and nothing in the contract says if we are going to release you will do it at a certain date to make it easy for you and the family.

I imagine next response will be Chiefs stating Trent had already agreed in prinicple to re-structure for the Chiefs prior to the trade talks starting...

I say round one goes to Trent, but I don't think he will win the PR battle with the Chiefs.

Who do you think will win?

Ditto, and nor I; yet.

Have no doubt, I love Trent Green and respect him, highly. I just don't think he is equipped to play for a team that is incapable of giving him time, in the pocket. Huard, while certainly unproven, did an admirable job, last season, with excrutiatingly little time, in the pocket. A very rae ability. If he were to perform, similarly, this season, he could aid, in masking a sub-par O-line. As for Trent, I would like to see him play somewhere where they have a good O-line, to give him a better chance for success.

Agreed; and lets not forget some of the spectacular catches that also helped Huard look good, and the drops that made Green look not so good.

i think trent could still run our big and bad offense.if they would let him call his own plays. i just hope huard isnt a one year wonder. many of his passes were saved by TG catching ablities.

I would love to see Trent come back and play for kc again this year too...but isnt it pretty much official that he is not going to be playing in kc? All is hear is that he donst want to be there, and wont be there.

Well at this point the Chiefs and Green seem to be stuck with one another.

Hello,
Im a dolphin fan whose been lurking here for a while now,and this post just drove me nuts from a football business standpoint.
Would you as chief fans approve of your fo giving up high round picks for a player who's more than likely to be cut?Hell no you would be pissed!!so why should the dolphins offer any picks,much less a 4th rounder..

I've heard the argument{he's a starting quarterback}.Well than why are you not starting him?I know you want to go younger.

If trent ends up in Miami he will be a gap quarterback,Likely a one year deal.

Welcome aboard the "Crowd" Leatherfan!

I agree that should Trent wind up there it would more then likely be short term; I think he is thinking retirement home there in sunny Florida. I can actually see both sides; both the Chiefs and the Dolphins are trying to get the best deal possible for their organizations.

Well, if it weren't for the current state of the Chiefs' offense, and the fact that he has been a Chief, for several years, I would have been thrilled to offer a fourth rounder, or even a third, for a guy like Green, to come in and start. Especially, when you look over his resume and take into consideration, the WR corps he's been throwing to.

Now, the Dolphins have a weak O-line. Therefore, I would find it, nearly, pointless to bring him in. I can't imagine any quarterback, short of Peyton Manning, finding success, in Miami.

But, when one considers the Dolphins current quarterback situation, sounds like they need him, pretty bad.

Thanks for the welcome.

Im not here to talk trash or smack,just good football talk.
I agree with you guys that trent was/is still a great quarterback,however he's taking his life into his own hands by coming to miami.
Culpepper was sacked 21/22 times in the first 4 games last year.That would pretty much end greens football career.Imo greens body couldnt handle that.
The dolphins have Culpepper,Lemon and Beck.So miami's thinking is keep the offer low and see what happens.If the chiefs end up keeping green than miami's gamble didnt work,We can play the year with qb's we have.
If the chiefs cut Green than miami has its stating quarterback.

The point is that Miami is not a playoff contending football team right now.There are to many ? marks on this team.Green would be brought in to take as many snaps as he can and help tutor John Beck.

Thats why i say a gap quarterback.One year deal If he last a year in Miami??

Dont get me wrong.I would be all for giving a 6th round and a contingent next year 4th or 5th depend ing on Greens playing time.
