Daunte Culpepper is getting help from the NFL Players Association in his quest to be released from the Miami Dolphins. The NFLPA filed a grievance today on Daunte’s behalf, with hopes that the matter can be resolved within a week. The Dolphins are apparently breaching Daunte’s contract by refusing to employ him or letting him go somewhere else. The grievance is similar to the one filed by the NFLPA last year against the Tennessee Titans after the team barred Steve McNair from working out at its facility. McNair was eventually traded to Baltimore for a fourth-round Draft pick. With the NFLPA involved, expect the matter to be resolved within the next couple weeks, if not sooner. But I wonder. Will Daunte be released or traded? He wants out on his own terms, but certainly the Dolphins know they can get something in return.
That’s fair! Daunte can’t be angry, I mean Trent Green is a good quarterback. The way things have gone in Miami over the past 2 decades, he may find a better situation somewhere else.
