I read it more like "we don't believe Green will be a long term solution as a starter". Perhaps rookies are not ready at this point and he will be a starter. But just as a stop gap solution, before the rookies are ready. Sure they may have communicated all of this with Green already.
I think this might impact on what to expect related to Green new deal. Do you want to pay someone you don't see as a long term solution more than lets say MLE level deal? Great if Green settles for that of less. But what if he doesn't?
