not unexpected. Ramsey is now the premeire QB on the market with brooks, and soon harrington (who's the biggest bust of the 3). Ramsey is the least likely to make mistakes, so maybe now he'll have value to the teams that lost on mccown.


A couple teams prefer ferotte, but he should find a home soon, and there's a good chance it'll be with the vikes instead of back in miami.

I thought I read somewhere that Gus could be headed to Denver

he could be. there's 3-4 teams looking at him. my guess is he's not back in miami as of right now though.

Vikings | Wilf and Culpepper trade shots
Thu, 16 Mar 2006 10:35:30 -0800

Sean Jensen (http://www.kffl.com/link/33), of the Pioneer Press (http://www.kffl.com/link/26), reports Miami Dolphins (http://www.kffl.com/team/22/nfl) QB Daunte Culpepper (http://www.kffl.com/player/1120/nfl) and Minnesota Vikings (http://www.kffl.com/team/23/nfl) owner Zygi Wilf blamed each other for the way Culpepper's career in Minnesota came to an end. Culpepper said, "Up until March 6, I felt I was going to be a Minnesota Viking. It really wasn't about money. It was about the principle of the whole thing. The way I see myself is way more important than any dollar amount that someone can throw at me." Wilf claims, "We tried everything to have him be our leader. But it seemed like a lot of things that happened last year, between the injury and the (Love Boat) incident, he felt it was time to move on. … His attitude has been building up since we asked him to work out up here. He decided, against everyone's suggestion, that he was going to do things independently on his own."


I don't know who title'd this blurb, but that is SERIOUSLY weak smack.

I thought I read somewhere that Gus could be headed to Denver

wow gus and garcia have been around the block.

I wonder if Arizona would give us anything of value for Ramsey. Who's their backup QB now that McCown is gone?

i hope it's jeff blake, oh i hope it's jeff blake
