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.”

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.

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.

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.

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.

So...a car salesman runs the Chiefs.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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