Green for a 2nd?

[Hammock Parties]

FINS STILL SNIFFING AROUND GREEN

Gred Bedard of he Palm Beach Post reports that the Dolphins and the Chiefs are still working toward a trade that would send quarterback Trent Green to Miami. The only sticking point? Green's pay in 2007.

He's due to receive $7.2 million, $7.7 million, and $9.2 million in base salaries over the next three seasons. The Fins want to pay him far less than that. Per Bedard, the two sides are "in the same ballpark."

Under the deal, the Fins would send to Kansas City the second-round pick that Miami received from the Patriots as part of the Wes Welker trade. If the deal goes through, it'll be the third straight year in which a second-round pick was given up by the Dolphins for a quarterback.

The acquisition of Green could mean the end of the road for quarterback Daunte Culpepper in Miami, who was acquired from Minnesota last year for the Dolphins' second-round pick in the 2006 draft.

Sadly, it appears the Fins have not lost their minds after all. A 7th is more like I would expect. Perhaps they'll make a typo like this on the official paperwork.

I had wondered that myself after reading Archie's thread yesterday.

Probably more important than the pick would be assuring Green doesn't end up in Oakland.

I agree. To get anything is good. He most likely was going to be cut anyway and the Oakland scenerio was one I didn't like.

Better tell Nick, he thinks it's a 2nd round pick, too.

[chiefbowe82]

A second round pick was sounding a bit more acceptable than a damn 7th.
looks like green will take his last breath in KC

If you pinch your tongue while saying it out loud second and seventh sound like the same thing.

The sad hilarity of this story deserves a recap.

- The Palm Beach Post said that the 'Phins would trade their second 7th round pick for Trent. (They ended up with two 7th rounders from the Wes Welker trade.)

- Rotoworld and ProFootballTalk, either both making the same mistake or PFT following Roto's lead, reported it as Miami trading their 2nd round pick instead of their second 7th. PFT acknowledged their error shortly after posting the story, not sure about Roto.

- Nick wrote a column for Warpaint on Wednesday night stating unequivacably that KC would get Miami's 2nd round pick.

- Shortly after PFT corrected their story, Nick changed his column to say that even though the Palm Beach paper was reporting Miami would trade their 2nd round pick (which they never said), Nick had a "source" telling him it would be a 7th round pick (which, of course, was the original story all along). Unlike PFT, which acknowledged their error, Nick edited his article without mentioning it had been changed.

- By Thursday morning Nick had changed his column again with a claim that the Palm Beach paper changed THEIR story and that they were now saying it would be a 7th round pick, even though that's what they had been saying all along. Even while accusing the Palm Beach paper of changing their story, nowhere did Nick acknowledge that his story about KC definitely getting Miami's 2nd round pick had now been changed twice.

- Nick now claims to have two sources telling him two different things, and says KC will get somewhere between a 2nd and a 7th for Trent. In other words, he acts like he has a source telling him that KC will get a 2nd for Trent, even though that story was just the result of a typo on another website.

It's journalism at it's finest.

To top off this amazing 24 hour period, Nick went onto the Royals' site on Scout to talk about the Royals and A-Rod and was laughed off the board.

That has to be one of the most idiotic posts in the history of Royals Corner.

Really, CI, you should stick to spreading unsubstantiated rumors about the Chiefs. You demonstrate a complete lack of knowledge of both the Royals and baseball.

I'm begginning to think that's where he gets most of his sources, just basically like we do from reading public reports. What a joke.

I respect what the other staff at the site does. Nugent and Campbell seem to have some insight.

To me, Nick putting himself in the spotlight as the publisher makes the whole thing a big assed joke when it could be better than that. He must have an ego to be in the spotlight.

Did anyone actually listen to the entire press conference with Edwards this past Tuesday?

Nick had a question twards the end asking edwards about trading up for Branch since his stalk is falling. Hillarious!!! He said to herm branch is sliding, he is slated to go anywhere in the top 10-15 and would KC move up to get him. He said it like it was all FACT not realizing it is obviously all speculation. I would have everyone listen to the end of the PC and Nicks question and Edwards response. Maybe it's just me but he sounded like a total moron.
