anyone know how this affects the cap, if he is placed on IR with a non football injury? Can they waive him if they wanted to?

Culpepper complained of a hand injury to paramedics. It's not known whether he injured his left hand or his right hand. More details are expected to become available later in the day.

The Dolphins have been trying to trade Culpepper, but the quarterback has asked to be released. The NFL Players Association filed a grievance on his behalf earlier this week, due to the refusal of the Dolphins to allow him to participate in team drills during a recent minicamp.

If the hand injury prevents Culpepper from playing football, the team can cut him with no financial obligation or the team could put him on the non-football injury/illness list, and pay him nothing.

ouch

I know the report says that the Dolphins could place Daunte on the non-football injury/illness list, but if they do this then the NFLPA will file another grievance and demand him to be released. As long as a doctor will clear him to play they would have to either remove him from that list and pay him or release him and let him pursue an opportunity with another team. Either way I think his career is pretty much over as far as being a #1 QB ever again.
