Culpepper Fights Back

Daunte Culpepper has vowed to block any trade the Miami Dolphins might attempt in order to get him out of Miami. Culpepper participated in early drills at Dolphins mini-camp but as soon as team oriented workouts began Terry Shea, the Dolphins QB coach, told Culpepper he was barred from team drills. Culpepper was escorted by security off the field and spent the rest of the day in the weight room. He is owed $5.5 million this coming season and with his current contract, which runs through 2013 and is worth $51.5 million, no team is going to be willing to pay that. Culpepper was quoted as saying, "I definitely expect to be released," Culpepper said. "I will not be traded."
