The Facts: The door might be open for Green to return to the Chiefs, but he doesn't intend to use it. After the Chiefs failed to trade Green to the Dolphins during the draft, agent Jim Steiner said Green wasn't interested in playing for the Chiefs. "Trent's not going to be returning," Steiner said. "They've said Brodie Croyle is going to be the No. 1 or No. 2 QB. They brought back Damon Huard. They've told Trent they want to get younger. So the Chiefs determined that, not Trent."

Diehards Line:As previously noted, Green, who previously indicated a desire to be traded to Miami, has considerable leverage in the matter. His scheduled salary of $7.2 million cannot be unilaterally reduced by the Chiefs. By refusing to take a pay cut, he can put considerable pressure on the Chiefs and their salary cap. Counting his salary and various bonuses, Green costs the Chiefs more than $9.1 million against their cap.
