Yahoo Sports says Trent will have to compete with Croyle
 
Check it out:

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slu...yhoo&type=lgns

"Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Trent Green was told by team president Carl Peterson that he can come back to the team next season, but will have to compete for the starting job with second-year quarterback Brodie Croyle and will have to take a pay cut to return."

Compete with Croyle for the starting job? Hmmm.

Its Yahoo Sports. So lets wait and see.

The Chiefs offense also struggled in a playoff loss to the Indianapolis Colts and Green was part of the problem, botching a snap that cost the Chiefs a score early in the game and throwing the ball away early on several occasions.
Does that mean throwing the ball into the receivers' hands?

King Carl is probably setting this up to where Trent either retires or accepts a trade. Not a bad move but Trent was "The Man" here for a 3-4 year run. Worked in the community. Kept his nose clean. I hope he goes out with as much class as he has shown us off and on the field.

I have no doubt he will.

So Huard will either be backing up Trent or Croyle, and not starting? Even with a sweet 3 year deal worth 7.5 mil?

...it's good to be Huard.

Where's Hootie?

Is this insulting to Green? Telling a veteran QB like Green that he's going to have to take a big cut and compete with an unknown third round pick who played like crap in his only limited NFL experience?

Well at least that are totally throwing away the season by starting Mr. Fumbles under pressure Huard.

CHIEFNJ? "played like crap in his only limited NFL experience?" Are you talking about Huard before he played the weak NFC West?

Seems like SOP in the NFL. See Culpepper, Brees, Plummer etc etc

At some point the team needs to move forward rather than trying to live in the past. It's always difficult when the young guy comes in and makes the old guys obsolete. Happens all the time in my line of work...that's business.

I hope it is insulting to him, and I hope he does something about it.

I agree Trent should go. Carl should say - you're free to negotiate with other teams. The problem is this scenario is that nobody has made Green obsolete yet.

If Green is competing with Croyle, it's for the #2 spot behind Huard, the starter.

Green has likely been told that the #1 is between Huard and Croyle.

Ball is in Greens court.....

I hope Croyle wins the starting gig. Next year is the perfect year to get him experience.
