Trent Green Still in Limbo Despite New Offer

lim·bo: a place or state of oblivion to which persons or things are regarded as being relegated when cast aside, forgotten, past, or out of date; an intermediate, transitional, or midway state or place.

What a perfect definition for the career of Trent Green as the QB continues to be stuck in limbo as a member of the Kansas City Chiefs despite the Miami Dolphins upping the ante, so to speak, in their desire to acquire the rights to his services. Trent Green may be in the twilight of his career, but I believe he still has a couple of very good football seasons ahead of him. Why don’t the Miami Dolphins want to pay more than a sixth-round pick for what would most-likely be their starting QB in 2007? The latest offer from Miami is a conditional sixth-round pick that could turn into a fifth-round pick based on Trent reaching certain performance incentives. The Chiefs want at least a fourth-round pick. I think the Dolphins have enough QBs with Daunte Culpepper, Cleo Lemon and the newly drafted John Beck, supposedly the future of the franchise. I think it’s doing the Chiefs more harm than good to keep Trent on their roster because the team doesn’t know who’s going to be their starting QB and Trent has already said that he wants out. Take the latest offer, let Brodie Croyle and Damon Huard fight it out for the starting job, and be done with it.
