Alex Marvez of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports that the Dolphins soon will be making another run at acquiring quarterback Trent Green from the Chiefs.
And Marvez write that, if/when a deal goes down, it likely means the end of the failed one-year experiment with Daunte Culpepper.
Culpepper was acquired from the Vikings for a second-round draft choice in 2006, less than five months removed from suffering the torn knee ligament trifecta. He was rushed into the starting lineup prematurely -- perhaps because coach Nick Saban knew he was going to call it quits after the 2006 season -- and later benched when it was clear that Culpepper wasn't the same guy that he had been in Minnesota.
So his rehab, which never should have ended, continued.
Green is under contract with the Chiefs, at a salary of $7.2 million. The Chiefs want a second-round draft pick for his rights, but if push comes to shove they will cut him before owing him that much money. Green already worked out a financial package with the Fins during earlier trade talks.
If the Chiefs wants to get a draft pick that they can use in 2007, they need to get a deal done before the draft. Per Marvez, the deal will entail a second-day draft pick.
