<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Vikings expected to cut CulpepperBY JASON COLEjcole@MiamiHerald.comThe Dolphins expect Minnesota to release quarterback Daunte Culpepper before the Vikings are scheduled to pay him a $6 million roster bonus on March 17.Because of that belief, the Dolphins have resisted the offer to trade for Culpepper, who also is scheduled to make $2 million in base salary for the 2006 season.The Dolphins and Vikings recently discussed a trade for Culpepper. Although no exact compensation was discussed, the Vikings are asking for more than the second-round pick that was reported this month.Despite those discussions, the Dolphins are not interested in a trade at this point. They are examining a number of quarterback options.The Dolphins are expected to speak with the agents for San Diego quarterback Drew Brees if the Chargers and Brees are unable to work out a contract extension by the end of next week.The Dolphins also are monitoring what Tennessee will do with Steve McNair and what Washington will do with Patrick Ramsey.On Thursday they held further talks with agents Tom Condon and Ken Kremer regarding quarterback Tim Couch.Condon and Kremer also represent Brees.</div> http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/13948554.htm
Culpepper could do some pretty cool things in Miami if he can stay healthy and have a better year than what he showed early in the season this year... cuz that was NOT good. That Brees thing would work out because Rivers NEEDS to be starting SOMEWHERE and he's definitely not leaving San Diego... The Ramsey thing, that could work too. He's gotta go somewhere that needs a QB and I think he's a much better player than Ferotte/Rosenfels.

Wow, that'd be a waste of a star QB. I understand he'll be coming off of a huge injury, but you can't just waste your franchise by cutting him.
Compely bull.Cullpeper has said he'll take the bonus out of his sallary if it means he can stay with us. There is no way this is going to happen. I guess Miamis front office got ahold of the weed ricky was smoking.
i agree, Culpepper loves Minny, and apparently the new Owner loves Pepper. but if he goes to Miami, that they got the AFC East cinched
I am also another one who says all these Culpepper trade rumors are a wast of everyones time, he's stayin in Minny!

Cutting Culpepper could possibly be the worst move in NFL history. He is coming off a 4,600+ yard season (remembering that he only played about 5 games this season past) and was injured pretty much the entire last season, there is no real reason to rid of him, he is still getting the job done, plus who are they going to replace him with?

McNair got a 1 mil bonus to stay with the Titans (if that's what you were talking about). And Culpepper is getting paid his 6 mil bonus too.
Those concerned with the Steve McNair situation: check the thread about him in the Titans forum and my post there.
