The Facts: The Dolphins met Saturday with Drew Brees in Birmingham, Ala., but were also considering a trade for Daunte Culpepper, said a person involved in negotiations on the first day of free agency. There's competition with the Dolphins for both quarterbacks, said the source, who didn't want to be identified because the team has been tightlipped about its personnel plans.

Diehards Line:The availability of Brees and Culpepper this year is uncertain because both are recovering from injuries. but it's clear Miami's top priority is to upgrade the quarterback position, where journeyman Gus Frerotte -- whose future with the team remains unclear -- started last season.
