Just reported by John Clayton on ESPN television that Chiefs GM Carl Peterson has lowered his price on QB Trent Green from a 2nd rounder to a 4th rounder. KC has no 4th round pick,a s they dealt it to NO for Michael Bennett last season.

Clayton said he thinks the deal gets done by draft time.

GREEN DEAL SHOULD GET DONE FOR A FOURTH-ROUNDER

We just heard John Clayton of ESPN report on the air that the Chiefs have dropped their demand for a first-day pick from the Fins for quarterback Trent Green.

This means that the Chiefs, who don't have a fourth-round pick, would take a fourth-round pick to get the deal done.

And we think that's a fair price.

The debate has been that the Chiefs think the Fins should give up something equivalent to what Green, who would likely be their starting quarterback, is worth to them. The Fins think that the Chiefs should take something equivalent to what Green, who will otherwise be cut, is worth to them.

Last year, the Titans and Ravens were in the same position with quarterback Steve McNair. They settled on a fourth-round pick.

It's a no-brainer to us -- the same deal should be done here.

 
It would seem that a trade Green for Booker and a late second day pick would be an option if Booker would rework his contract. He had a great season last year (not WR1 but still good for a WR2) and would upgrade KC's receiver corps.

It seems that Booker is on the way out according to news found on the FBG news page.

Thoughts?

 
Green would be fine, but this shouldn't preclude them from drafting a developmental QB in the later rounds like a Kevin Kolb, Trent Edwards, or another QB.

Trent threw for 4k for you guys (when healthy) almost every year if not every year. Curious how you feel about losing him and about his replacements and their learning curve+all

are these guys "later rounds" QB's?

yeah well depending on the mock they go anywhere from the 2nd round on reallyI would guess late 2nd early 3rd will be a few QBs

Late first day rounds is what I meant, 2nd/3rd round area. GDB not getting any sleep.
 
Thought Peter King had some good insight in today's column, pointing to Miami having the upper hand here:

Miami is dug in, refusing to offer a first-day 2008 draft choice, or even the prospect of one in a conditional trade, because it knows Kansas City can't get a better offer than a sixth-round pick anywhere. So the Dolphins figure, "The Chiefs can't go anywhere to get a better deal, so they'll either give him to us or make him come to training camp 11 weeks from now at $7.2 million on their salary cap. And they don't want to do that.''

Here's one more factor in Miami's favor: Green learned the offense taught by Miami coach Cam Cameron 11 years ago, when Green was the third-string quarterback in Washington and Cameron the quarterback coach. "Cam's tweaked it a little bit, but I could walk into the Dolphins today and pretty much know it,'' Green said. "I probably know 80, 90 percent of it right now.''

And that, believe it or not, really takes away any motivation the Dolphins would have to get the deal done quickly. Cameron needs Green in camp to get familiar with his receivers and to be the leader the Dolphins crave on offense. But if Green shows up July 20, no one with any football sense thinks he wouldn't have enough time to learn everything he needs to learn to play for the Dolphins by opening day.

What is up with Daunte? Did I miss him getting cut?Joey signed elsewhere right?So they have Cleo from NFLE/San Diego and that's it? He's looked good everytime I've seen him play. I doubt a Charger fan would disagree I wonder if any Fins fans would after last summer.He doesn't look great or anything but.....let him play then. Go get your young QBs in the draft and let him keep the seat warm for them til they're ready and he can be a backup QB then.Oh wait the draft's over. What is Miami doing?

????They drafted Beck at the top of the second round in the draft.
 
KC may end up getting a 5th or 6th rounder but that's about it. KC has absolutely no leverage in this situation.

Whether it's a 5th or a 6th, or they acquire him in FA, will be proof of King's theory that the Dolphins are not in a rush to get him.
