Daunte To Ask Fins For Release
With the Dolphins increasing their offer for Trent Green last week, NFL sources are saying that Daunte Culpepper will request a release from the team once Green finally becomes a Dolphin.Once Green is on board, the Dolphins will have several options, with Culpepper due to make $5.5 million this year (that's a hell of a lot of green for a backup):
1. They could keep him around and allow him to have a fair shot at the starter's job -- the Fins don't have to pay C-Pep until the season starts, so he could be kept around during pre-season mini camps.
2. They could trade Culpepper. But this is highly unlikely unless the Fins are willing to accept bottom-feeder picks and another team is willing to risk trading for the injured Culpepper.
3. They could release him and let him find work elsewhere.
It's my opinion that once/if Trent Green becomes a Dolphin, the job is his -- unless he gets injured. For all the calls by some fans to give Culpepper a fair chance to prove his worth this off-season, it'll be all for not. Cam Cameron has a specific plan in mind and right now Green is a huge part of that plan while Culpepper is not. Once Green becomes a Dolphin, Culpepper will become expendable.
Meanwhile, Green worked out with the Chiefs' first-team over the weekend. Green is still handling all this nonsense like a pro. Carl Peterson is still handling all this nonsense like a complete ass.

I'm all for keeping Culpepper around incase Green does get hurt (in mini-camp or in-season). But you're probably right. C-Pep doesn't seem to fit into Cam's plans/philosophy. The QB problems continues for these Dolphins.

From Pete "Prick"-so at CBS Sportsline:
His picks for most underrated/overrated players per team
Miami Dolphins
Overrated
LB Joey Porter. And it isn't even close. Why they paid him all that money is a great mystery.
Underrated
S Yeremiah Bell. When he was inserted into the starting lineup in the sixth game last season, the defense became better. He's a good, solid tackler.
There is a reason the Fins payed that much money for Porter, he's a fucking beast!
I just came again!!
