According to Adam Schefter of NFL Network, the Dolphins are in discussions with three teams over quarterback Daunte Culpepper. Miami isn’t making it known who those three teams are, however, because those teams don’t want to create friction with the quarterbacks currently on their rosters. Schefter did list five teams who aren’t interested in Culpepper: Minnesota, Chicago, Atlanta, Oakland and the New York Giants.
My speculation of the Dolphins wanting a late round draft pick was apparently correct, but I did think maybe the Raiders would take a flier on Culpepper with Andrew Walter having surgery on his knee. So, whom could the three interested teams include?
Once again, this is only speculation on my part, but what about the Ravens? Steve McNair is 34 and has always battled injuries, Kyle Boller is a free agent after this season and Troy Smith is a project. That would be my “sleeper” team, but other than that, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Jets, Redskins, Bills or even the Rams show interest. One other sleeper team could be the Jaguars, who at first glance are set at the position with Byron Leftwich, David Garrard and Quinn Gray, but none of them set the world on fire when handed opportunities last season.
