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 play for Miami.

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.

Chiefs QB Green says joining Dolphins is imminent: South Florida Sun-Sentinel

The Kansas City franchise is a mess right now. Seems like they don't know who's coming and who's going. Peterson says Green is the starting QB while the rest of the world seems to be under the impression that it's Damon Huard. NFL Network even reported today that the Chiefs were planning to cut him in June. This, plus the Larry Johnson situation and the Dante Hall trade, leads me to believe that this team is in shambles from top to bottom.

gee isnt this just a year since Herm got there ?

tried to tell you guys last year he was a crap coach

Huard needs to be the man in KC now and they need to trade Green for anything they can get

Edwards may be a crap coach (debatable), but this is far from all his fault. There are some serious front office issues in K.C.

With Green, I think Peterson knows that Miami wants him, so they're really trying to hold them up.

See, I think Miami knows K.C. has no leverage here... that's why no deal was done on Draft Day. Maybe this is Peterson trying to bluff and make it look like he's prepared to keep Green, but nobody's buying it.
