Dolphins deal for Green

The Kansas City Chiefs capitulated, and the Miami Dolphins flinched.

One of perhaps the longest-running trade discussions in NFL history finally came to an end Tuesday when the Chiefs dealt quarterback Trent Green to the Dolphins for a conditional draft pick.

The Dolphins gave up a fifth-round pick in 2008 that could become a fourth-round pick if Green reaches certain performance standards, a source said. Green has had an agreement on a contract with the Dolphins since March after Green was given permission to seek a trade by Kansas City.

Green was allowed to seek a trade after the Chiefs told him that he would split practice time and have to compete with second-year quarterback Brodie Croyle for the starting position.

I have always liked Trent's game. He needs talent in front of him a behind him. On paper this looks like a good trade. Croyle can now show what he's got. Miami needs a QB, and Trent could be their answer.
