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.

You still take a hit... I'm just not sure how much

why the **** wasnt he pulled the 2nd half of the Colts playoff game?

Mr. Laz · 03-06-2007, 03:37 PM

you could see in Herm's body language that he prefers Huard. He put Green in when came back because he didn't have the nads to go against football 101.

Huard is a QB reliever who suits Herm run,run,pass better than Green.

Joint Statement from Chiefs President Carl Peterson and Jim Steiner
Mar 06, 2007, 3:28:16 PM

Over the past few weeks, Chiefs President Carl Peterson and Trent Green have met to discuss Trent’s future with the Kansas City Chiefs. Peterson and CAA Sports’ Jim Steiner have jointly issued the following statement regarding QB Trent Green. Peterson and Green met again yesterday afternoon to discuss Green’s future as a member of the Kansas City Chiefs.

“Conversations between the Chiefs and Trent Green about his future in Kansas City continue to be amicable and productive. The Chiefs have offered Trent the opportunity to remain with the organization with a restructured contract. However, before any decisions are finalized, the Chiefs have agreed to Trent’s request to allow him to explore other potential opportunities in the National Football League. We will continue to work in unison toward a resolution that will be acceptable to all parties.”

Anyone else have the feeling that we're saying he may return simply so others teams will cough up a draft pick for him?

I think if other teams call our bluff, we'd cut him right around training camp time.

NFL teams are in the habit of handing out 2nd rnd pick for 37 year old QBs with post traumatic stress syndrome.

Trent's such a great guy with a football mind, he's made friends everywhere in this league.

It wouldn't surprise me to see a team offer something like a 6th rounder for him. We should take whatever we're offered.

So in other words, Carl is not only NOT deliberately screwing Green but he's deliberately DOING HIM A FAVOR.

That is the way it appears to me.

I'll optimistically hope for a 4th.

Very classy on both parts. I am sad because Trent is one of my favorite players and one of the nicest guys you will ever meet but we need to get younger so I think this is the best possible move.
