Quarterback Trent Green said his agent, Jim Steiner, spoke with Chiefs executive vice president Denny Thum over the weekend about a possible trade to Miami. Green said no progress has been made.
“There has been some communication,” Green said. “At least they returned the call and are trying to move forward.”
Green said he still felt strongly that he would no longer be a Chief by the time training camp opens in late July. Asked if he thought the Chiefs would make him the starter if he were the best candidate, Green said: “I’d like to think that’s the truth. For a certain amount of time that would be the case. But I do know that at some point in time Brodie (Croyle) is going to play. They want him to get reps. They’ve made that very clear.”
One popular theory Wednesday was that Green could end up in Atlanta, where the Falcons are unsure about the future of starter Michael Vick.
“That’s the national speculation,” Green said, “but I haven’t received any word from them and as far as I know my agent hasn’t either. That’s just the speculation because of what’s happened here the last few weeks and the situation that’s unfolded in Michael Vick’s life.”
