Chiefs give Green permission to seek trade
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Trent Green is looking for a way out. Last week it was reported that Chiefs’ President/CEO/GM Carl Peterson had met with Green about restructuring his contract and having to “compete” for his starting job this off-season. That may not have set well with Green (understandably), a two-time pro-bowler who has passed for nearly 27,000 yards and 160 TDs in 7.5 years of full-time, starter service (.5 due to this past season’s injury).
Team officials have given him permission to look for a trade, and it appears he might have a buyer in Florida. Reports out of Miami say the Dolphins are one of the teams interestd in the veteran quarterback, and it would make sense. Miami’s head coach, Cam Cameron, was the offensive coordinator in Washington when Green played for the Redskins, and their quarterback coach spent five years with the Chiefs before he was let go last season.
This move would put a big exclamation point on Chiefs coach Herm Edwards’ philosophy of wanting to get younger. The 2006-2007 season saw the Chiefs as the oldest team in the league.
