FITM Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 TRADE FOR GREEN GETTING CLOSER Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that a trade between the Dolphins and the Chiefs for quarterback Trent Green is getting closer to becoming a reality. Per Schefter, the Dolphins and Green have nearly reached an agreement on a new contract, which surely would reduce significantly Green's base salary of $7.2 million. The only remaining hurdle is the striking of a deal between Miami and Kansas City. Published reports indicate that the Fins are willing to send the seventh-round pick (one of the last in the draft) that was obtained from the Patriots as part of the Wes Welker trade. The Chiefs, apparently, want more. And it's becoming increasingly clear that Green wants the deal to get done. "Trent would like to be there," agent Jim Steiner tells the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. "He has a relationship with [Dolphins coach] Cam Cameron that goes back 10 years ago when both were with the Washington Redskins together. It's an offense he's familiar with and there would be an excellent working relationship." If the trade goes through, the deal would make Damon Huard the starting quarterback in Kansas City. But we've got a feeling that the Chiefs won't stand pat with Huard, and that they might try to find a way to upgrade. Another option for the future is second-year signal-caller Brodie Croyle. The deal also would raise questions about the future of Daunte Culpepper in Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4HCrew Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 with Trent Green as the qb the Dolphins would no longer be a joke. They have playmakers on offense never had a chance to get them involved. AFC East is going to be tough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECURB Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Trent Green is too old and slow, not to mention he has been in the same system for years and would now be learning a new system with a new coach... he will be an upgrade but it wont be the Trent Green that was comfortable in the system and surrounded by talent in KC...

EM31 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 There would need to be a truly exceptional alignment of events in order for the Dolphins to cease being a joke in the AFC east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faba Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 The thing is Trent Green would be an upgrade if healthy over what Miami put on the field last year in Harrington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have playmakers on offense never had a chance to get them involved. AFC East is going to be tough Green is a decent game manager at best. I think if they trade for him, they will be looking to draft a QB this year or next year. Their so called "playmakers" are overated in my opinion. The Dolphins would have been better off getting Carr cheap and seeing if a change of scenery would have been mutually beneficial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gang_green03 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Green has been one of the most underrated QBs in the league and is an upgrade over what they currently have, but he's on the downside of his career. I won't worry about him to much until they improve their o-line. He does give them a consistent QB though and that makes them dangerous cause they have playmakers on that offense.
