Trent Green Done for the Season

Just over an hour or so ago the Miami Dolphins announced that they placed QB Trent Green on injured reserve for the remainder of the season.

“At this point, this is the best thing for Trent and the team,” said Dolphins head coach Cam Cameron. “The doctors have prescribed rest for now. No long- term decisions regarding Trent’s future have been made.”

I truly admire Trent Green and what he did when he was the Chiefs QB. I wish him and his family the best. I think that the Dolphins made a wise decision by making the decision for Green, and hopefully he will decide to retire. He has accomplished a ton in the NFL and he has nothing else to prove to anyone.

“I appreciate the way the organization has handled this,” Green said. “I realize this is in the best interest of my long-term health and I want nothing but the best for the team. Right now I haven’t made any decisions about my future, but I talked with the Dolphins about staying involved in some capacity the rest of the season.”

This means that the Chiefs will acquire the Dolphins fifth-round pick for the upcoming 2008 draft. Again, I truly believe that Carl Peterson did an excellent job acquiring picks for players that had little value this past off-season.
