Okay, so what happens to Trent?

**Donger** · 04-29-2007, 08:17 PM

Perhaps there are other threads dealing with this question. Honestly, I don't care. What happens to Trent Green now? What are the scenarios now that the draft is over (it is, right?)? Can he stay? If so, how? Does he go? If so, how?

Thanks.

Some possibilities:

1) Chiefs keep him at existing money. Let him compete in offseason. Keep him in regular season.
2) Chiefs keep him at existing money. Let him compete in offseason. Cut him in June to take half the hit they would take otherwise.
3) Chiefs keep him at existing money. Trent decides to retire instead of stay on the team.
4) Chiefs work a trade of some sort, like to Miami, for next year picks or another player.
5) Chiefs release him. Miami picks him up for free.

You could add: Trent reworks his deal with the Chiefs, but that isn't going to happen, I don't think.

all possible, but I'm guessing #1 (or a restructure with us as an 1b option)
number three or number 4 (along with 4b - another team with a training camp injury)

I don't think there is any way he restructures.

He knows he can stay with us for alot of money or sign with anyone he wants for however much he can get. Resigning with us for less money at this point would land him on the reeruned list.

Yeah. People don't usually take voluntary paycuts out of the goodness of their hearts when they're toward the end of their careers. I suppose they could get him to June then talk about whether he still wants to be released at that point or would prefer to take a paycut and stay on for the rest of the season. Even if that happened, my guess would be that he'd force a release.

He would be a better man than me. If you held me till my value dropped then asked me to take a cut, I'd probably tell you how I really feel.

Neither side of this deal is at fault. They are both looking out for number one. I was hoping it would work out yesterday with both side getting something.

I think it is a shame that Miami didn't step up to the plate to get Trent. Of course I think it is a shame that Trent didn't go t a few more places as well, but I don't know if that was lack of interest elsewhere or the fact that he made up his mind to go to Miami.

My hope is that he gets an offer for a next years pick, but I really don't know what Miami is thinking. Of course I don't understand why we screwed with Trent to begin with. The coaches could have split up the passing in the camp's anyway they wanted to giving a chance for the others to win the position without insulting Trent publicly.

Excellent. That's what I was looking for. Much obliged.

As long as it ain't Choice #5, I'm okay with any of the above....although, I don't even think we should do #2....because then he could still play for Miami.

Whatever happens, he can't play for the Dolphins....after the shit they pulled. UNLESS they give us their 3rd or 4th rounder from NEXT year.

This sounds like king Carl to me.

I wonder what Trent thinks of Croyle.

That he's got a rough year ahead of him.

kcxiv · 04-29-2007, 08:32 PM

At this point, i think he will be the starter for the 07 season unless Brodie can beat him out.
