Adam Schefter Speculation on Culpepper (1 Viewer)

Between this note and the Brees rumor, the Saints obviously believe that a veteran QB is in thier best interests and/or none of the three rookie QBs. assuming they are successful in getting the job done in acquiring a QB, this totally changes the way to look at the top of the draft board.

Hmm other reports say Raiders and Fins, I havent heard much about the Saints seeking CPep. Saints seem to be entering the Brees sweepstakes tooAll I know..

All due respect, I think you are being remiss to post this without mentioning exactly how Schefter phrased his Saints speculation. When PA asked him to speculate where Daunte might land, he went overboard conditioning his response "This is a guess... I can't emphasize enough this is a guess, but having clearly emphasized this is just a guess, I think he could end up with the Saints."

I don't know if they'll end up with Brees, but I love this thinking. Why wait 3 years for a QB to possibly develop, when you can get a proven product??Deuce, Stallworth are in the prime of their careers. Horn isn't getting any younger either. Getting Brees and drafting Ferguson would be a great offseason for the Saints.

Any chance the Saints would send McAllister for Culpepper straight up??

I don't think the Vikings would be interested in McAllister myself. Big contract like Culpepper, but productive RB's are a lot easier to find. In dealing Culpepper, I believe they're looking more to gain financial freedom than gaining a player.
I think it's between the Raiders and Dolphins.

I don't think that is the obvious inference.I think more likely is that they can get a better pair of players if they get a QB in free agency and use their pick on a Brick/Hawk/Davis, than they can using the pick on a QB and trying to get a LT/LB/TE/etc out of free agency who is as good as those guys are likely to be.

I think any team that trades for Culpepper will be giving up a 2007 conditional pick(s) that will depend on how much Culpepper plays due to the seriousness of his knee injury. I don't see teams giving up 2006 picks given his current health status.

Pat Kirwan, a senior analyst for NFL.com and Sirius Radio, said because of Culpepper's uncertain physical status, any trade likely will involve future conditional draft choices."This would be a sliding scale that I've run past a few general managers that are not in the market for Culpepper," Kirwan said. "The draft picks are for 2007. If you trade for the guy and he never plays, the compensation is zero. If he plays eight or less games, the compensation is a second-round pick. If he plays nine or more games, the compensation is a first-round pick. If he throws for 3,000 yards, then it's a first and a third. And if he makes the Pro Bowl next year, it's two first-round picks. With something like that, the risk is all off and everybody can take a wait-and-see approach as far as how much of Daunte Culpepper is left physically when he returns."

Im hearing that a deal between the raiders and the vikings is close to being finalized, it just that the raiders are hesitent to give up Doug Gabriel who they believe is a very underated player. The raiders offered ronald curry but the vikes rejected it. here how the deal breaks down
if finalized.
TO OAKLAND: Daunte + 6th rounder
TO MINNY : Doug gabriel + 3rd rounder

He's going to the friggin' Raiders.
That must be a conditional 3rd rounder.Also, I thought there was some kind of bidding war going on between the Dolphins and Raiders. If this is the upgraded offer, what kind of pile of crap were they previously offering?TO OAKLAND: Daunte + 6th rounder

Clayton was just on ESPN saying the Raiders are still the leading candidate, so I guess it all depends on who you believe.More speculation, this time from PFT citing a "league source":
This is such a great time of year. Everyone is guessing every player is going everywhere. I love it.
You forgot:5. Naming Mike Tice head coach.If Daunte doesn't want to be here though, I'd settle for a bag of popcorn over doing what the Eagles did last year (heck, the new CBA wouldn't even LET us do that). Also, I'm sure if the Raiders offered the Eagles Gabriel/Curry and a 3rd for T.O. and a 6th, the Eagles would be calling the league office to confirm the deal so fast that your head would spin.I'm not trying to compare Daunte to T.O., as T.O. is in his own universe, a la Dennis Rodman! I'm just saying that if he wants out of town pronto, Curry/Gabriel and a 3rd isn't nearly as bad as an outright release and subsequent cap hit.Why is it always the Vikings who do the stupidest things on the face of this earth?1. Herschel Walker2. Draftgate 13. Draftgate 24. Daunte for a bag of popcorn.

Good deal for Oakland. I love Gabriel though. Agree it would be yet another 'good but not great' WR in Minny.
As far as N.O. and Brees, I think N.O. is correct in doing this, as I have always thought that MAYBE Leinart is a 1st round QB this year. This is the weakest class of QBs I can remember and because of that the top 3 or so are being pushed WAY up. Brees and Mario or Davis or Brick would be sweet for them!
