Peterson, Miami discuss Green deal
By ADAM TEICHER

Efforts by the Chiefs to trade quarterback Trent Green picked up over the weekend when president/general manager Carl Peterson spoke with Miami general manager Randy Mueller.
Green wants to be sent to Miami, where he is close with head coach Cam Cameron and quarterbacks coach Terry Shea. Green has agreed to terms of a contract with the Dolphins.
The remaining obstacle is the terms of the trade.
“I told Randy that they made a great trade with New England,” Peterson said, referring to a recent deal that sent Wes Welker to the Patriots. “They got for what we would consider a third wide receiver and kick-return specialist second- and seventh-round draft picks. I told him that I think a starting quarterback is worth that.
“Now we need to work toward something that’s fair. We’ll talk again this week. Whether it gets done before the draft or not, I can’t say. It may happen this week, or it may not happen until after the draft.”
The Dolphins held a weekend minicamp with only the unproven Cleo Lemon and Gibran Hamdan at quarterback. Miami also has Daunte Culpepper, who is injured.
