Should Miami release Culpepper, it will be hit with a salary-cap charge of $5.6 million, but Culpepper's $5.5 million base salary will come off the books. The idea of cutting Culpepper sounds preposterous, but remember this: new Dolphins coach Cam Cameron did not trade for the former Vikings quarterback. He has no allegiances to him. He wants his players for his system. Cameron did coach Green in Washington with the Redskins for 2 seasons. Cameron also was a head coach at Indiana, the same school Green once quarterbacked. The greater intrigue is where Culpepper might land. And that brings us back to the game of dominos.
Schaub is in Houston, Green seems destined to be a Dolphin, and that would leave Carr and Culpepper for the Vikings and Raiders, two teams still seeking to add a veteran QB. should Carr surface with a Vikings team that has a better O-Line than the Raiders, something he needs to succeed, that could leave Culpepper for the Raiders. The Raiders were intrigued with Culpepper last offseason before he was dealt to Miami. Now there is a chance they might be able to land him without any compensation. He could be the perfect bridge, the quarterback to play until the Raiders deem potential No. 1 overall pick JaMarcus Russell ready to take the field. And just imagine this unlikely possibility: Oakland decides not to trade disgruntled wide receiver Randy Moss. And the Raiders do land Culpepper. It would be, once again, Culpepper to Moss.

Please. No.No.No. We have enough problems in Oakland, we sure don't need Culpepper.

Childress at Minnesota is the one that dumped Culpepper to start with so I wouldn't expect him back there. Why would Oakland take the chance of Culpepper? The guy is coming off a very serious injury that will limit his mobility without a doubt. And it WAS his mobility that made him as a QB anyway. Raiders would be a fool to pick up Culpepper unless they could sign him for league minimum with no guarantee money. He isn't worth much more than that.

Miami is not releasing Culpepper or trading him u moron...there gonna wanna try and see him at 100% and see what he can do...and moss is prolly gonna be traded anyways... oakland is holding off from shipping moss to GB cause they wanan see how much they can get for him...someone will get moss at a good price..moss is still the boss when motivated and on a successful team not a POS AL DAVIS run team..

But why would Oakland want Culpepper? He's done, finished, never to be the same.

i think they should stick with culpepper and see what he can do. if he plays like he has been then bench him and try to get a draft pick for him or cut him. with a good OL it should help him if he hasnt lost his nerve which i dont think he has

That's all the Dolphins need...another receiver with nobody to throw it to him...
