A STARTING QB for a 6th rounder????Dolphins are insane.

[BigChiefFan]

This has gotten way out of hand and has become insane. I keep seeing the media portraying the Chiefs FO as the bad guys and continually putting the heat on the organization. What is being lost is Green will be the STARTER of the Dolphins and compensation is most definitely in order. Offering up a 6th rounder is insulting. The Dolphins gave up 2nd rounders for BACK-UPS and now they are balking about having to pay up for starting QB? The Dolphins are the disgrace in this matter.

When did the Chiefs send out PRESS RELEASES stating that they were done with Trent Green.

The public information out there that the Chiefs no longer want Trent came from TRENT.

While he might have been less than tactful in his delivery, Luz has a point.

We negotiate multi-million dollar contracts here every day, and it's pretty easy to recognize the tactics and who the easy marks are.

you don't give away a starting QB for a 6th.....there is a price for a starting QB and it is not a 6th, it really is that simple...

they want Trent to start.....

Then why aren't you a GM as the Dolphins and the rest of the league outside of Kansas shitty think differently. Wasn't CP asking for a 2nd initially?

When a house is for sale for $150,000 and you want to buy it, do you tell the realtor, "I'll take it for $150,000"?

Anybody that thinks Carl actually WANTED a 2nd-rounder doesn't know jack shit about negotiations.

Well since pricing a house too high to begin with (if you want to take that route) will hurt the selling price in the long run since it most likely will go stale. Guess what Green is still available.

I'd replace "wanted" with "expected".

If you offered me the next to last pick in the draft I am going to show you just how totally ridiculous that was by saying I want your 2cd round too.

Chiefs | Green's agent says team won't return calls
Thu, 24 May 2007 23:07:27 -0700

The Associated Press reports Kansas City Chiefs QB Trent Green said the Miami Dolphins have indicated "some flexibility" in their offer to the Chiefs, but that he can't get the team to respond. A Chiefs spokesman said the Dolphins remain inflexible in offering a supplemental sixth-round draft pick for Green. Green's agent, Jim Steiner, said, "Last Friday [May 18] I made a call to the Chiefs to let them know I thought there was some flexibility [on Miami's end], that we discussed what that might be and if they were interested that I would carry that back to the Dolphins and see if we could put something together. And I've yet to get an answer from the Chiefs." Chiefs spokesman Bob Moore said, "Miami's made no offer. The last offer they made was a sixth-round pick. It has nothing to do with Jim Steiner. Miami hasn't changed anything. We haven't talked to Miami in weeks. Miami has to cut the deal. Miami has to call the Chiefs. If Miami's interested, they can call Denny [Thum, Chiefs executive vice president]."


Bob is right **** the agent as the middle man shit if Miami has something to say they need to say it to the Chiefs not Stiener.


Dolphins | Green still optimistic of joining team
Sat, 26 May 2007 08:00:45 -0700

Harvey Fialkov, of the Sun-Sentinel, reports Kansas City Chiefs QB Trent Green says he is 90 percent certain of joining the Miami Dolphins at some point this offseason. "Ninety percent, because we talked with Miami today and the Chiefs today, so at least we know they're still talking," Green said during a radio interview. "Prior to the draft I would've said 100 percent." Green added that the Chiefs are still looking for a fourth-round draft pick in return from the Dolphins.


Oh yeah now they are STILL talking... whatever douchebag.

Dolphins | Culpepper expects to compete for starting job
Sat, 26 May 2007 08:23:00 -0700

Barry Jackson and Jeff Darlington, of the Miami Herald, report Miami Dolphins QB Daunte Culpepper (knee) says he plans to compete for the team's starting quarterback job, even if Kansas City Chiefs QB Trent Green lands with the team at some point. "For a guy, for anybody who thinks that whatever their situation is where they're at and they're coming here, and it's going to be peaches and cream, that's not the case," Culpepper said. "It's not bothering me one way or the other because I know I'll be healthy," Culpepper added. "As long as I'm healthy, I'll be fine. I feel I'm going to be a great player in this league…Nothing has changed in my mind until somebody tells me different. I'm the quarterback of this team." Culpepper continues to participate in some drills and expects to be more involved during the team's next minicamp.


Hmmm think Culpepper is trying to tell Trent something.

Funny, I didn't see Culpepper whining about it being a weighted competition.....
