    Don't see a reason to get Green for a 2nd rounder. A 2nd rounder could be a better addition to the team, especially with a lower contract, and with Green having maybe a year left in the tank.

    I doubt it. Probably let them compete for the job and the loser would be backup. I could see them ending up settling on like a 4th Rounder like McNair was traded for last offseason.

    Apparently theyre close, with the 7th rounder Miami acquired for Wes Welker going to KC in return.

    Not so fast, Cleveland and Detroit are now also involved.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Browns join Dolphins, Lions as Chief trade partnersESPN.com news servicesPHOENIX -- The Cleveland Browns are the latest entrants into the Trent Green sweepstakes. The Kansas City Star has reported that Chiefs president/general manager Carl Peterson said he was approached Wednesday at the conclusion of the NFL meetings by his Browns counterpart, Phil Savage."We agreed to talk some more later this week or the first of next week," Peterson said. "He said he wants to talk some more with his head coach and his offensive coordinator. But he did ask whether this thing was over with. I said, 'No, not at all.'"Cleveland would make sense to me because Trent played very well against them last year."The Chiefs also have talked with the Dolphins and Lions about a trade for Green, the Chiefs' starting quarterback the past six seasons. Green missed the first half of last season because of a severe concussion and played poorly after his return.The Chiefs have Damon Huard and Brodie Croyle competing to be their starting quarterback. The Chiefs have said Green would be welcome to return and compete for the job as well if he isn't traded, but Green would likely balk at that notion.The Browns have no established, veteran quarterback. They used two young prospects, Charlie Frye and Derek Anderson, at quarterback last season.Green had his best game of the season when the Chiefs played in Cleveland in early December. He had season highs in completions (24), completion percentage (75), yards (297) and touchdowns (four) but still couldn't prevent the Chiefs from losing 31-28 in overtime.Peterson huddled with Lions general manager Matt Millen at the meetings in Arizona but never talked with Miami's Randy Mueller.Green has told the Chiefs that Miami is his preference. The Chiefs and Dolphins have exchanged trade offers but were far apart: The Chiefs asked for a second-round pick, and the Dolphins countered with a seventh-round choice.</div>http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2818189

    ^ Beat me to it.And GaMeTiMe, Kansas City is asking for a 2nd round pick, and Miami is not willing to offer anything higher than a 7th round pick.
