The Kansas City Chiefs will allow veteran quarterback Trent Green to seek a trade, league sources said, but have not ruled out the possibility of him playing for them this year.

The decision, sources said, was reached Tuesday in the wake of recent meetings between Green and Chiefs general manager and team president Carl Peterson.

Peterson on Monday informed Green the club would like to restructure a contract that pays the quarterback $7.2 million this season. That, plus coach Herman Edwards' failure to designate Green as this season's starter, convinced the quarterback to seek opportunities outside Kansas City, sources said.

The Chiefs agreed to grant his request, sources said, but informed their quarterback it does not mean they are trying to peddle him nor does it mean they intend to release him.

Green has been the Chiefs' starter the past six seasons after he was acquired from St. Louis in 2001 for a No. 1 draft pick. Until last season he had not missed a start with the Chiefs, but he bowed out in the season opener with a concussion that sidelined him eight games.

When he returned he struggled, winding up with more interceptions (nine) than touchdowns (seven) for the first time since the 2001 season.

"Herman Edwards' failure to designate Green as this season's starter"

I would not want to play for Herm, he already told the media that he WAS the starter. Everyone knew he wasn't, but as a player...that would pissmehoff.

We aren't getting a second for Trent. We would be lucky to get a 4th or 5th.

2nd? Are you high? He's going to be 37 when the season starts. We'd be lucky to get a 4-5th rd pick, imo. Not to mention, he carries a $7mm salary.

You're kidding, right? If a 29 year old Daunte Culpepper is worth a 2nd, and a 33 year old Steve McNair is worth a 4th, what does that tell you about Green's value?

Bootlegged · 03-06-2007, 03:28 PM

if we get anything for Trent I'll be surprised. Maybe Oakland will trade us Janikowski?

.... I was wrong!

I understand the team's direction at the moment but hope this doesn't end ugly. Green deserves first class treatment.

**noa** · 03-06-2007, 03:29 PM

I hope Green gets what he wants, whether that's a trade or the chance to compete for our starting spot.

We'd be doing good to just get rid of the cap hit. If he's signed by someone else or traded doesn't his contract follow?

There really shouldn't be a reason for it to turn ugly. If Trent doesn't restructure then he will be released and free to sign elsewhere. For everyone to be happy Trent has to find two interested teams, one of which is willing to give up a draft pick for him.

If we can get someone to take his 2007 salary and give us a conditional pick in 08, that'd be a home run, imo.
