Said he met with Carl and they don't necessarily want to trade him. Offered him a new contract at a reduced rate.

SOUNDS like a personal problem to me.

back in the day, the d.i.'s would tell underperforming trainees and/or those who voiced any complaint to "tell it to the chaplain."

We didn't even really let Huard shop around. He was retained quick.

Trent can take the pay cut or we have a solid reason to trade him. Huard proved he can manage this new offense, perhaps even better than Green.

No guarantees for Green

By Jason Cole, Yahoo! Sports
March 5, 2007

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Trent Green was told by team president Carl Peterson that he can come back to the team next season, but will have to compete for the starting job with second-year quarterback Brodie Croyle and will have to take a pay cut to return.

Hes thinking about the situation, agent Jim Steiner said Monday night. Green, 36, is due to make $7.5 million in base salary. A salary reduction is likely regardless of whether Green plays in Kansas City next season or not.

If Green allows the Chiefs to trade him or asks them to release him, a new team would likely also ask him to take a pay cut. The question is whether Green would have a chance to make up the lost salary in incentives.

Moreover, the bigger issue for Green regards his two-year future. The Chiefs are eager to have Croyle, a third-round pick last year, get more practice time and work in the exhibition season. The Chiefs believe Croyle is their quarterback of the future and feel they have a solid backup in veteran Damon Huard, who signed a three-year contract extension before the start of free agency.

Green, who missed eight games last season after suffering a concussion in the season opener, was told that Croyle would get a lot of practice time with the first team in the offseason and during training camp. With that writing on the wall, Green may feel compelled to go elsewhere, figuring that if the change to Croyle isnt made this year, it could come the following year.

Green could have a chance to go to another team this year and establish himself as a starter for the next two years. The Miami Dolphins are reportedly interested in Green. New Dolphins head coach Cam Cameron coached Green for two years with the Washington Redskins when both were getting started in the NFL.

The Dolphins, who released Joey Harrington on Monday, currently have Daunte Culpepper and Cleo Lemon at quarterback. Getting Green would obviously put Culpepper, who missed much of last season recovering from knee surgery, on the outs with the Dolphins.

Coming into the 2006 season, Green had averaged 23 touchdowns, 13 interceptions and more than 4,000 yards passing in the previous four seasons. However, he threw seven touchdowns and nine interceptions in eight games last season. The Chiefs offense also struggled in a playoff loss to the Indianapolis Colts and Green was part of the problem, botching a snap that cost the Chiefs a score early in the game and throwing the ball away early on several occasions.

OK. So we signed Huard to be 7.5 million backup? I don't think so.

**Anyong Bluth** · 03-05-2007, 10:58 PM

Trent has got TV written all over him. But I wouldn't pair him with Vermeil. Dick's performance would suffer greatly and all you'd hear is him slurping and gagging over Trent.

OK, where does Huard fit into this equation? Is he a solid #3? Hootie's gonna freak.

Sweet, it sounds as if the Chiefs are giving Croyle every opportunity to start this year. I hope Croyle gets the nod, I want to get him some experience and see if he has anything and I want to get a good pick next year.

I am OK with making it a 3-way competition but Huard is overpaid if he is still just a backup. Trent will be overpaid if he ends up 2nd or 3rd string.

I would think it is Huard's job to lose going into camp though.

I would think so too, but this article almost makes him look like odd man out. There is no mention of a 3-way race. Something's fishy here.

That is how I read it too. If that turns out to be the case.... Shoot Carl!!!!!!

may the best man win ..GoChiefs at Hotties and Huards wedding .....

**Anyong Bluth** · 03-05-2007, 11:26 PM

Chances are Huard will end up being the starter and his salary isn't redic. Carl threw him a little something for last year's performance.
