A few weeks ago, former Kansas City Chiefs QB Trent Green said he had decided on a post-playing career in television. His initial assignment was last weekend's game between the Jets and Rams broadcast on the local FOX affiliate.
At the time, he had hoped to officially choose a network within a week or so. Nearly a month later, the verdict is in. Drum roll....
Trent Green will partner with Chris Myers on FOX Sports Sundays this fall.
His first assignment will be week one in Louisiana when the Detroit Lions visit the New Orleans Saints.

Update: This was actually first announced at the tail end of last week by Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Once the regular-season begins, Green will go network, serving as color analyst for seven FOX regional games, beginning with the Detroit-New Orleans contest in Week 1.
I’m doing the first three with Chris Myers, and the next four with Chris Rose,” Green said. “I’ve got the Green Bay game here (against the Rams) in Week 3.”

Randy Covtiz of the Kansas City Star initially alerted us to the development. Green, who retired after a 14-year career following the 2008 season with St. Louis, joins John Lynch and Charles Davis as part of FOX's seven NFL crews," Covitz writes.

I think he does some games with Myers
and some with another group of guys. I did a fanshot awhile back (but I think that was one of the days I got the ban-stick). I’ll search for the original story.
"I’m doing the first three with Chris Myers, and the next four with Chris Rose," Green said. "I’ve got the Green Bay game here (against the Rams) in Week 3."
Green has moved to Kansas City, where he enjoyed his greatest success as a player from 2001-2006. With the Chiefs, he posted three 4,000-yard passing seasons and earned two Pro Bowl berths. In KC, he’s doing some local radio and television. Green says he also may do some spot studio work this season for the NFL Network.

Way to go Trent
Trent has always been very smart on game and player relations and how it mixes with talent and the goal to win. Good luck and hope he gets a Chief game.
PS
I saw another former Cheif QB on TV, It was Warren Moon in the broadcast booth for the Seahawks. He did a great job too.
Screwup
