We reported on Monday that, if/when Trent Green lands in Miami, quarterback Daunte Culpepper will ask to be released.

Before it comes to that, the Fins apparently will try to trade the guy for whom they gave up a second-rounder in 2006. Per Adam Schefter of NFL Network, the Dolphins were peeved that news of the Green deal leaked, because the Fins were trying to unload Culpepper. (Surely, guys, there are more interesting ways to waste your time.)

Schefter also reports that, regardless of how it comes down, Culpepper won't be back with the Dolphins this season.

So where will he land? Schefter floats the possibility of Culpepper going to Atlanta. (Psssst, Adam, you might want to retract that one, or Len Pasquarelli's head might explode. . . . On second thought, don't take it back.)

We think that the Jags should make a play for Culpepper, but we have a feeling that V.P. of player personnel Shack Harris won't go for it. Another possibility? The Patriots, who could use a proven backup in the event that Tom Brady gets hurt during a year in which the deck is otherwise stacked for a Super Bowl run.
