One year with Green behind him, helping out with his experiences, would only help Croyle. The only reason it's a distraction is because nothing is set in stone yet. If the Chiefs pull Green off the market, the distraction goes away and everyone knows what Green's roll will be. Then, after his contract is up, we might get more than a 5th round pick for him as a compensation pick.
If Carl and Herm think they know what they will get from the league for Green, i say don't go any lower than that. We'll already have Allen and Johnson as disgruntled players on the team for this season, what's one more?
I think the Chiefs know they'll get at least a 4th round pick from the league. If that's the case, Carl shouldn't be talked down any further just because all the pundits want to see this deal done with and over.
