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.
