Drew Brees finally explains what the Dolphins couldn’t risk

There have been several stories over the years since the Miami Dolphins made the decision to trade for Daunte Culpepper rather than sign Drew Brees as a free agent. Most of them have not been good.

The overall takeaway has always been simple. The Dolphins' doctors screwed it up; Brees joined the Saints, Nick Saban inevitably returned to the college ranks, and Miami has been looking for a starting quarterback ever since.

Now, Brees is setting the record straight. On Wednesday, the Hall of Fame quarterback was a guest on the "Dan Patrick Show" when the conversation turned to Miami and the mishandled attempt to sign him.
