The Facts:
The NFLPA filed a grievance Tuesday on Culpepper's behalf, with hopes that the matter can be resolved within a week, said Richard Berthelsen, the union's general counsel. "They're breaching his contract by refusing to employ him or letting him go someplace else," Berthelsen said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The grievance is similar to one filed by the NFLPA last year against the Titans after the team barred Steve McNair from working out at its facility. McNair was eventually traded to Baltimore. ... "After attempting to handle the situation in Miami professionally and privately, I found that I could not get the Dolphins to do the right thing," Culpepper wrote in an e-mail to the AP on Tuesday night. "It is encouraging to know that the NFLPA is willing to step in and help both sides get past this impasse." The Dolphins acknowledged receiving the complaint, but declined further comment.
