Trent Green Press Conference Today

Via the KC Star discussion board and originally from 810 Sports, apparently Trent Green will hold a press conference today at 1:30 pm CDT. Is this it people?

All updates to the press conference will be found in this thread. Please comment if you get a chance to watch it. I feel like I'm in that scene in Braveheart, where all of the Scottish warriors are waiting with spears for the British cavalry to get close enough so they can impale them.

William: Hold! Hold! Hold! Now!

(As the English close in, the Scots suddenly raise hundreds of long heavy spears from the ground.  The horses crash into the spears throwing their riders.  The Scots easily defeat the stunned knights.)

General: Send the infantry.

Cheltham: My Lord?

General: You lead them.

How is that for drama?

**UPDATE** Press conference is official. Listen to it online here. Updates to follow immediately in the comment section.

**UPDATE** Nothing new in this interview. Check out the comments. Basically a rehashing of what Trent has been saying all along. He said he's fulfilled his end of the bargain- finding a team and negotiating a contract- but the Chiefs have not gotten the deal done. He is sharing the exact same number of reps as the other QBs in this week's off season training activities. He expects to be in Miami for the 2007 season.

Word of the off season for Trent Green: FRUSTRATED.

**UPDATE** Here is a transcript of the press conference.

As someone at Chiefs planet noted
Players don't usually hold press conferences to say they've been traded. Who knows what Trent will talk about.

Predictions for what he's going to say?
I bet he complains more about Carl Peterson.

Still has a responsibility to play football
Thats why he will be at off season training. Might as well stay in KC and train.

Says the whole deal is strange
Doesn't know where he will end up.

Awkwardness around the locker room
Players don't know how to react to him as a leader, teammate, etc since he may be gone.

He's very frustrated
More frustrated with the Chiefs than the Dolphins.

Possibly would like to end up in KC
no matter what after his career. Loves the city.

Still leaning on the fact that the deal with Miami
will get done. Hasn't talked about playing on the Chiefs next year.

Doesn't believe Herm Edwards
when Herm says its an open competition at QB.

A lot can be accomplished in the off season with
Miami in the off season. Chemistry, practice etc.

New head coach
Choosing to imprint his style. Recyling the roster. Its Herm's choice. Maybe thats why Herm was hired, to rebuild.

Gotta run
Hopefully somebody else can pick this up! Doesn't seem to be anything groundbreaking.

Blindsided by QB coach Terry Shea
firing. Didn't ask him about it or about the new QB coach.

Basically
Trent feels he is getting the shaft from a team he was on for six years. He just wants more respect.

Carl's negotiating from a position of weakness
Carl's done this to himself...OK that's fine but more importantly, he's doing this to Trent and all current and future Chiefs. Let's face it, Carl shot himself in the foot when he resigned Damon Huard and named him the starting QB while asking Trent to restructure his contract and agreeing that Trent could shop his services elswhere. Then Herm said that Brodie Croyle was the QB of the future. Then Herm said that there would be an open competition. If I'm the GM of the Dolphins (or any other team that might be interested in Trent's services,) I'm thinking "OK, the Chiefs don't want him so he can be had cheap!!" Yet Carl is talking about Trent's Pro-Bowls and his career numbers like he's the best QB since Joe Montana. He can't have it both ways!! Either Trent's the starter and is payed and treated as such or he doesn't fit into the plans in which case he should be dealt. The best analogy is this...

You and your spouse walk into a car dealership looking for a new car. Your trying to play it cool hoping to get a good deal on the car you've decided on while your spouse is grinning, drooling, and rambling on about what a great car it is and how perfect it is for your family. Who's negotiating from the stronger position? You or the salesman?

Personally, I think the moves that Carl's made (and hasn't made) this off season really damage the Chief's reputation in the league with both players and other GM's and for the rest of Carl's tenure, it will be the Chiefs who suffer.
