Not really. What choice does Carl have, given that he isn't going to pay Green the 7.2m or whatever. Sounds like Green is doing the Chiefs a favor by possibly restructuring instead of telling Carl to f'off. Frankly, I don't see why Green would restructure instead of becoming a free agent.

Croyle for president.

I hope he starts and we suck and we get a top 5 pick. Then Carl leaves and Herm leaves and we can burn this mother ****er down and rebuild with a good GM and a good coach.

actually he probably is doing Green a favor ..... in the long run i don't think being the QB under a Herm offense is a good thing.

Green should get out now while he can ...... maybe he can go get a job in a real offense and finish his career on a positive note.

heck, maybe Green might even have a legit chance to win in the playoffs somewhere else.

Detroit? :hmmm:

The point is, some here were bitching that Trent Green was getting a raw deal.

Obviously, he's not. They've been more than accomodating.

Why wasn't Solari?
I feel that he's more to blame than Trent. Trent's head was made of dough this past season. If he's 100% healthy and recovered, I want him as the starting QB this year (on a tight leach of course) with Damon as the (expensive) back-up and Brodie waiting in the wing.

If Garcia can get snatched up quickly, then Trent Green will find a home in the NFL. I know that Garcia is coming off a much better season, but the market is there for an older, veteran QB. I've heard the Dolphins are interested.

Until I hear otherwise, I will say that Carl is being standup about it. Right now there's only one side of the story.

I'm sure Carl likes Trent, but that statement pure spin. He's doing Trent no favors. Not that he owes him any, either. If you translate the spin, it simply says two things: 1) The Chiefs aren't going to pay Trent Green's current salary. 2) Herm Edwards doesn't really want Trent around, and Trent probably feels the same way.

I don't see how this move is "classy". It's not unclassy, either -- it's just pure business.

larry johnson, on the other hand, should be getting that creeping "screwed" feeling.

the letting go of Green signals that we are going full tilt Hermie ball.


larry Johnson's career should last about 2 more years.

They're allowing him to shop his services, which they don't have to do under any circumstances...

its to bad about green id like to have an old vet around to school croyle for another year or two. imo i wouldnt like to see croyle thrown into the mix if huard goes down cause letin a young dog get bit to early will ruin him.

WELCOME TO COACH-SPEAK 101:

The following is the portion of the 01/11/2007 press conference which directly relates to Herm's comments regarding Trent Green's status as a starter:

"Q: Herm, back on December 25th you were asked if Trent Green was your starter going into next season and you said 'yeah why wouldn't he be?'. Have you changed your mind on that?

Herm: No I have not.

Q: So he's your starter going into '07?

Herm: Yeah, all the starters are the starters right now.

Q: Could that change?

Herm: Oh yeah, alot of things could change. But right now as we start the '07 season he's the starter. There will be competition and that's the whole key. It doesn't matter if a guy's the starter on paper or not. What you want to do on your football team - and we did a pretty good job of it this year - you create competition at the positions. That's what we have to do through the whole roster."

COACH-SPEAK 101 FINAL EXAM:

Write a 1,000-word essay in response to the following question -

Now just exactly what is the difference between stating "Yeah, all the starters are the starters right now (going into 2007).." and "..yeah, alot of things could change (regarding the status of the starters).."?

CLASS DISMISSED!

oh please......... ROFL



they are doing that for the team ....... not for Green. They hope that they can get something in trade instead of just having to cut Green for nothing.

It doesn't matter what their motivation is. They're allowing him to look around, which they don't have to do.

Spin it any way you want, Trent Green is being treated MORE than fairly.
