Daunte Culpepper finally has his wish.
FOXSports.com has learned the Vikings and Dolphins have agreed on a trade, with Miami sending a second-round pick to the Vikings in exchange for the Pro Bowl quarterback.
The trade is contingent upon Culpepper passing a physical, and takes Miami out of the running for free-agent quarterback Drew Brees who now could be headed to the Saints.
Culpepper was a three-time Pro Bowl selection for Minnesota but played poorly last season before tearing three ligaments in his right knee in a game Oct. 30. He has been at odds with the Vikings over his 10-year, $102 million contract and wants to be traded.
"If a trade does not happen then I am asking the Vikings to terminate my contract as soon as possible," he said in a recent e-mail to media outlets.

Moments after the Dolphins got Daunte Culpepper in a trade with the Vikings, free agent quarterback Drew Brees agreed to a six-year deal with the New Orleans Saints.
Financial terms of the deal have not yet been disclosed.
The Saints pursued Brees as a replacement for Aaron Brooks.
"You've got a young ascending player who's proven at this level he can win," Saints coach Sean Payton said of Brees before the deal was completed.
Brees spent the last five seasons with the San Diego Chargers but reached a stalemate with them on a new contract.
Brees had said the devastation of Hurricane Katrina wouldn't dissuade him from joining the Saints. He said he helped build winning teams at Purdue and San Diego, and the challenge of doing the same with the Saints appealed to him.
"I think being a part of that would be a great opportunity," he said.
Brees tore the labrum and damaged the rotator cuff in his throwing shoulder in the final game last season and underwent surgery Jan. 5. He said Sunday that he faces another four or five months of recovery and doesn't anticipate any long-term effects.
all of this now changes up the draft drastically . its possible now that vince young might fall down to the radiers at the 7th pick as new orleans will most likely take ferguson if they retain their pick or they may trade down and take aj hawk. titans will now take leinart and the jets and packers if it all stays the same will take either mario williams or aj hawk if no trading is done.

I was hoping one of the two would end up in Oakland. :( (espically Daunte)

ricky didnt fuck up yet, word is it may of been one of those herbal drugs he takes. Notice how there hasnt been a peep about it since it came out. Plus if he fucked up ronnie brown gets all the carries so its not like miami is fucked

yea thats tru, u got a good point there

miami looks like a promising team with their solid D and chambers at wr. their o-line is aight as well and wit a young back they have a good team.

vince young to oakland baby!
-
good pick up for miami i say, they obviously thought daunte's knee was better than brew's shoulder so good for them...actually FUCK them, GO JETS!

Miami is also most likely going to trade Ricky once that whole mess gets sortted out. Denver is a team that's very interested in Ricky & if Ricky is able to get his name cleared from this positive test, then he will most likely be running for the Broncos in 2006.

wow i thought the saints were going to pick up matt leinert , guess not, can't wait to see the draft now

I don't know. They re-signed Ron Dayne, and will have Tatum Bell who is pretty solid. They might pick up another RB, but I don't think it will be Ricky :bandit: Williams

^i'm happy with lamont jordan in oakland and julius jones in dallas, so i really don't feel a need for him on any of my teams
the only team i can think of that would really need ricky williams is maybe san francisco or the colts now

Ricky is better than Bell & Dayne & neither are really dependable. Dayne, who's knows what's up with him, does the 15 good carries he ad with the Broncos override an up to this point disappointing career? & Bell can't give the Broncos more than 15 carries before he starts to break down. I'm pretty sure that as soon as this whole mess gets cleared up, Shannahan will be calling the Dolphins asking about Ricky.

If the ricky mess clears up, he isnt going anywhere. Saban has a hard on for Ricky plus the combo of him and ronnie brown is scary.

both dayne and bell arent really dependable backs but in shanahan's system any back can do well. these two r prolly the worst back combination shanahan has had for a few yrs but i woudnt be surpised to see at least one of them get 1000yrds. ricky would look pretty scary behind that broncos line though.,

Saban's been looking to trade Ricky for awhile now. One of the reasons he brought Ricky back was to improve Ricky's trade value. So I think Ricky is defintely on his way out if he can get his named cleared here.

No he hasnt, Saban has been one of the few in the organization that wants to keep Ricky.

Everything I've heard coming out of Miami was that Sabin is trying to trade Ricky & has been trying to trade Ricky pretty much since Ricky came off of the suspension. & Miami needs more draft picks, & if that's all it takes to have a potential great RB who won't hurt you cap wise; Shannahan is going to do it. I haven't heard one report which has said Sabin wants to keep Ricky.
