Watching NFL Network right now. He said that Miami and K.C. will meet this week and he expects a deal to be made this wek. I know we heard this before but I think we will meet somewhere in the middle.
 
I dont care if we give up a 4th next year we need to get a vet. Qb in here the lucky thing about green is he knows the offense and can adapt quick

The Chiefs are asking for a 4th now, Fins staying put on a 6th.

GREEN SAYS HE'S MIAMI BOUND
Alex Marvez of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports that Chiefs quarterback Trent Green has no plans of playing again for the Chiefs, and intends to soon be a member of the Miami Dolphins.
Green told ESPN Radio in Kansas City that trade talks between the two teams have resumed, at the urging of Green and his agent, Jim Steiner.
"We told [G.M.] Carl [Peterson], 'Is there any way to get this going again because this isn't going to happen here in Kansas City and where it's going to happen is Miami for me,'" Green said.
"When they made their decision that they wanted to go younger at quarterback, we said, 'Fine. We're going to find a team and we'll get something done. But just so you know, we're not coming back,'" Green added. "I don't want to go into training camp or into a season where I feel like I'm insurance, that if something does happens, 'Oh, well here's Trent. We'll lean on him.'

"If not, all of a sudden, you get to August and then they give you that call in training camp: 'Hey, come on in. I want to talk to you a minute. We're going to need you to take a pay cut in order to keep you.' And then all of a sudden, you're released. Then you're stuck and you have no place to play."
On Sunday, Peterson told ESPN's Trey Wingo (whom Peterson twice called "Zach") that Green would be the Chiefs' starter if the season were to start tomorrow, and that the Chiefs had every intention of keeping him. But Wingo never asked, so Peterson never told, whether this meant that the Chiefs were ready to pay to Green his full $7.2 million salary.
Surely, they aren't.
The problem is that, after demanding a second-round pick for weeks, the Chiefs now want a fourth-round pick and the Fins are stuck on a six. We believe that a fourth-round pick is fair, given that the Titans got a fourth-rounder last year from the Ravens for Steve McNair.
Also, given that the Fins have given up a second-rounder for guys like Daunte Culpepper and A.J. Feeley and a fifth-rounder for Joey Harrington, a fourth-rounder seems fair.
So get it done, guys.​
 
I definitely want Trent here so I'm good with a 6th or 7th rounder in 08', but asking anything more for Green at this point, when we all know he will be cut is absolutely ridiculous...and honestly, the only reason I would give up a late round pick is just to get him in camp now rather than later. Someone really needs to slap some sense into Peterson.

the reason we gave up a 2nd for pep is because he used to be a pro bowler and is still young, and we gave a 2nd for feely when dave was here, nuff said. and joey harrington is also alot younger than green and had potential to turn his career around. Green is at the end of his career and his coming off a concussion and is a stopgap at best for 1 year, a 4th rounder for him would be robbery, hell a 6th might even be too much.
 
offer up some of our scrub players. Manny Wright would of been number one on my list. I only want green here if he's released. I'm not looking forward to giving up a fifth for a jittery 37 yr old qb playing behind a leaky line coming off an almost career ending concussion.

haha, didn't quite work out that way, huh? But I'm pretty happy with the guys that we did get.

Now if we can snag T. Green on the cheap, to mentor Beck for, oh I dunno, weeks 1-4, then Beck can come in and tear it up
 
well let ole mave here offer some colorful insight here . first I think we should keep culpepper and keep our draft picks for a te and wr . second i would even go as far as to say let lemon be the triggerman and lets get 1 more good draft under us and then ,boom , pow , bang; we are kicking some afc east knuckleheads and take our rightful place at the top of the division . this soap opra has gone on long enough .

side note : how is ole sage doing in houston , I miss that character.:cooldude:
 
By the way, the next mini camp is after June 1st, so I see no real hurry to get him in now.

It may not matter, but was this Schefter segment from Friday's TA during the weekend recap show, or was Schefter live on NFLN tonight?
 
Trent Green is poop...let's just let Cleo go if Daunte isn't ready.
