The Dolphins should complete a trade for Kansas City quarterback Trent Green before the end of this weekend's NFL Draft, a source said Friday.

The negotiations, which began in late February, most likely will conclude Sunday, the source said. The developments signal a change in Kansas City's steadfast demand for a second-round pick in return for the 36-year-old, two-time Pro Bowl quarterback.

The draft's first three rounds will be completed today, with the final four rounds Sunday.

The Chiefs now would settle for the Dolphins fourth-round selection (No. 108 overall) for Green, according to ESPN's John Clayton. Miami has offered Kansas City a late-round pick since Day One for Green, but the Chiefs reportedly have asked for as much as a second- and seventh-round pick.

Once the teams complete the deal, Miami will turn to the issue of quarterback Daunte Culpepper's future with the team.

Culpepper, who stands to make $5.5 million in 2007, continues to rehabilitate a major injury to his right knee he suffered in November 2005. He aggravated the injury last September and had another procedure performed in November to remove a piece of cartilage.

With rumors spreading that he would be traded or even released, Culpepper sent an e-mail to The Post and other media outlets Thursday to express his frustration and belief he will return to full health this off-season.

Green, who turns 37 on July 9, also has a history of injuries. Last season, he missed eight games because of problems caused by a concussion.
