　　特伦特·格林（Trent Green）因为与迈阿密海豚队的合同受阻而倍感愤怒和失落，在参加堪萨斯城酋长队训练时，他坚持表示不准备再代表酋长队参赛。

　　这也表明，这位两届全明星四分卫情绪非常糟糕。

　　即将于7月年满37岁的格林是2001至2005年间NFL最优秀的四分卫。上赛季初他经历了一次严重的脑震荡，尽管在赛季后半段重返赛场，表现却差强人意。在大比分负于印第安纳波利斯小马的比赛中，他出现过三次传球失误。

　　酋长队董事长卡尔·彼德森（Carl Peterson）今年2月要求修改格林的合同条款，减少其上场机会，格林随后要求转会。

　　海豚队很快向格林伸出了橄榄枝，但是酋长队与海豚队在补偿条件问题上产生了分歧。海豚队愿意提供一个第六轮选秀权来交换，然而彼德森坚持要求一个第四轮选秀权。

　　在经纪人表示格林将不再为酋长队效力之后，平衡被打破。彼德森回应说，他准备将经验丰富的格林列入替补阵容，并将在今年向其支付保证金。

　　酋长主帅赫姆·爱德华兹（Herm Edwards）曾多次宣称，他会为二年级生布洛迪·克罗利（Brodie Croyle）提供更多机会。近期他又表示，格林、克罗利和达蒙·豪德（Damon Huard）之间的竞争将十分公平，每个人都会得到同等的机会。

　　如果不能转会，那么格林是否有可能在酋长队提前退役？特别是在作为一名替补球员的情况下？

　　海豚队有可能交易或解聘多特·卡尔佩珀（Daunte Culpepper），由于在2005赛季膝盖受伤，卡尔佩珀上赛季只参加了四场比赛。

　　海豚主教练卡姆·卡梅伦（Cam Cameron）是格林在华盛顿大学时的四分卫教练，而格林在酋长队时长期执教他的四分卫教练特里·西亚（Terry Shea）也将转投海豚，后者在赛季末遭到酋长队解雇。

　　格林表示海豚队并没有承诺将其列入首发名单。

　　酋长队本周和下周将分别组织两次和三次训练，而该队的强制迷你营将于6月1日至3日举行。格林表示如果届时没有加盟海豚队，他将继续参加酋长队的训练。

KANSAS CITY， Mo. （May 22， 2007） —— Angry and frustrated because his deal with Miami has been held up， Trent Green practiced with Kansas City while insisting he has no plans to ever play for the Chiefs again.

It's a situation the two-time Pro Bowl quarterback finds very uncomfortable.

"It's not only awkward for me and my family， but it's awkward for the guys in the weight room， in the locker room， on the practice field，" he said. "I'm here every day. People ask， 'What's going on？' Guys don't know how to react to me， how to treat me." Green， who will turn 37 in July， was one of the NFL's most productive quarterbacks from 2001-05， but sustained a severe concussion in the opener last season and did not play well when he returned for the second half of the season. He had three turnovers in a lopsided playoff loss to Indianapolis.

When he was asked in February by Chiefs president Carl Peterson to restructure his contract and take a reduced role， he asked for permission to find another team.

Miami worked out a contract with Green， but the Chiefs and Dolphins have been at odds over compensation， with Miami offering a sixth-round draft choice and Peterson insisting on a fourth-round pick.

The standoff has escalated with Green's agent saying Green would not play for the Chiefs again. Peterson fired right back， saying he was prepared to keep the veteran as a backup and pay his guaranteed salary this year.

Head coach Herm Edwards has said several times he would give second-year man Brodie Croyle every chance to seize the job. He also said as recently as May 21 the competition between Green， Croyle and Damon Huard would be fair —— that everybody would be given the same opportunity to win the job.

"He's always very careful to put a disclaimer at the end and say， 'But everybody's going to be equal， everybody's going to have the same number of reps，' " Green said. "He's the head coach. He can do what he wants.

"But I've been in the league long enough and when you see those comments over the course of several months and you see the way the reps are going to work out， and you see what Brodie's making， what Damon was re-signed for and what I'm making， it's not a fair competition. It's a weighted competition." If a deal is not worked out， would he retire before staying with the Chiefs， especially as a backup？

"I really haven't had that discussion with my wife or my family and I haven't had that discussion with my agent because I'm still banking on the fact that the deal that was made back in February or March， that they would get the trade done，" he said. "I guess when that time comes， then I'll have to cross that bridge." At Miami， Green would probably serve as a caretaker while the Dolphins groom John Beck of Brigham Young， who was selected in the second round of the 2007 NFL Draft.

There has been speculation Miami will trade or release Daunte Culpepper， who is still hobbled by a 2005 knee injury. Culpepper played only four games last season and has yet to receive medical clearance to participate in minicamp next month.

Miami head coach Cam Cameron was Green's quarterback coach at Washington， and Terry Shea， Green's longtime quarterback coach in Kansas City who was fired at the end of the season， has also wound up with the Dolphins.

Green said the Dolphins had not promised he would start.

"They haven't said， 'You're the guy， come right in，' " he said. "They haven't told me one way or another. I just know I would have a much more fair chance， for my mind. Because here， it's obviously weighted." The Chiefs have two more practices this week and then three next week before a mandatory three-day minicamp June 1-3. Green said if he's not in Miami， he will take part.

"Players and coaches alike have come up to me and said， 'We support you. What's going on is wrong，' " he said. "I've had to step back because I don't even know my role. There's an awkwardness there."
