Pft: Chiefs Trading Green?

[BACH]

CHIEFS TRADING GREEN?

The Kansas City Star reports that the Chiefs might be trading quarterback Trent Green. The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports that the Dolphins might be interested.

Green is scheduled to earn $7.2 million in base salary this season, nearly the full value of the three-year deal signed by backup (for now) Damon Huard on Tuesday. The Chiefs are expected to ask Green to reduce his pay, but Green's agent says that the request has not yet been made.

Green has been highly effective as a starter, but a severe concussion limited him in 2006. If he is traded or released, the Redskins also could be interested, since former Chiefs offensive coordinator Al Saunders is there.

In Miami, the quarterback position is in turmoil. Daunte Culpepper was a bust as the team rushed him back from torn knee ligaments, and Joey Harrington will soon be released. The other quarterback with experience (albeit minimal) is Cleo Lemon.

Some mock drafts have the Fins taking Brady Quinn with the No. 9 pick. If they were to trade for Green and draft Quinn, it most likely would mean the end of the road for Culpepper in Miami.

Makes sense. Chiefs fans blame him for the playoffs debacle. Lot of folks feel like they should have left Huard in there. I don't know how much anyone would offer for the guy though. Especially with that monster salary. And his age.

At the very least Huard should have started the second half of that game. It wasn't all Green's fault, but they needed to make a change if only to mix things up.
