As the Dolphin’s move closer to acquiring Trent Green from the Chiefs, they may have taken a step in the right direction by sweetening the offer to the Chiefs a bit. While the Chiefs did not accept the new and improved offer, Green’s agent remains confident that a deal is close to getting done. Barry Jackson reports in his Herald column…

”I think we will get a deal done,” Steiner said. “There have been a lot of conversations.”

But Steiner said he has no idea when Green will become a Dolphin or whether it will be in time for the team’s final minicamp June 8-10.

According to Steiner, the Dolphins offered a conditional sixth-round pick that would become a fifth-rounder if Green meets certain undisclosed conditions. But the Chiefs have asked for a fourth-round pick. Meanwhile Carl Peterson is off somewhere sipping girlie alcoholic beverages while one of the classiest players in Chiefs history sits on his hands and his family stays in a state of flux on where they will be next season.

Do the right thing and stop being a stubborn bastard Carl.

Palm Beach Post Update: The Palm Beach Post’s Greg Bedard believes the Chiefs are “really dug in” to their demands of a fourth-round pick in exchange for Trent Green. Bedard says that Miami’s offer to up compensation from a sixth-round pick to a conditional sixth-rounder, “no progress has been made” and the Chiefs “greeted it with a yawn.” He does hint that a full fifth-rounder might do the trick. Carl Peterson, please step on a rusty nail.
