I want to be the man. I want to do what it takes to win.

Anybody can be good when things are going good, but a real player steps up when things are going bad.

I played seven years in Minnesota and I'm looking forward to a better, greater seven years down in Miami. I'm back home. It's great.

Loyalty is something you should always hold sacred in your heart.

Nobody can put more pressure on me than I do.

My first option is not to run. I am not a runner. I'm a quarterback.

You get frustrated when you don't win and when you're not successful. You have to keep battling. You don't give up. You don't start second guessing yourself.

I am a living testament you can be adopted and successful.

I don't use the word 'pressure.' I use the word 'expectation.' I have very high expectations of myself. It starts with me.

There is no way I'm going to doubt myself at all.

Now that I have confirmed that the Vikings have been seeking to trade me, I have asked for permission to speak to the interested teams. The Vikings have denied my request. If a trade does not happen, then I am asking the Vikings to terminate my contract as soon as possible.
