The Facts: Culpepper said Friday he has not asked the Dolphins to clarify his status despite reports that he likely will be traded or released after the team acquires Trent Green. Meanwhile, Culpepper cautioned that "it's not going to be a cakewalk" for Green -- or any player -- who joins the Dolphins.

Diehards Line:Green told reporters this week he would be given a "much more fair chance" to win the starting job in Miami than in Kansas City. Culpepper, asked about Green's comments, said, "For a guy, for anybody who thinks that whatever their situation is where they're at and they're coming here, and it's going to be peaches and cream, that's not the case. ..." Culpepper said he hopes he's given a chance to compete for the starting job in training camp but indicated he feels no urgency for the Dolphins to tell him whether he's in their plans.
