With Miami acquiring Trent Green, what will become of Daunte Culpepper? There are a few obvious teams, and I listed a few others out of curiosity to get some comments on. I can't see any chance to start anywhere unless there is a major injury, so some of the choices are more long term possibilities. I left Minnesota out for obvious reasons, even though they could use a QB.

Atlanta: With Vick's possible legal issues and injury concerns, do they want to entrust Harrington if something should happen to Vick?

Baltimore: McNair isn't getting any younger and Boller will be a free agent after the season and seems unlilkely to be back. Culpepper could get healthy without the pressure of having to rush into action.

Green Bay: How much do the Packers trust Rodgers? Strictly a longshot.

Jacksonville: A lot of questions about Leftwich's future, and if he leaves, I am not sure they will go forward long term with Garrard. Another longshot since he wouldn't even be #2 right now.

New York Giants: Maybe Eli needs something to think about, and the Giants aren't deep there. Unlikely, but who knows.

Oakland Raiders: Al Davis drafted Russell, but maybe he wants another bomber on the bench. another unlikely team.

Any other teams that someone thinks is a possible landing spot for Culpepper?

Is it possible he will not be signed by anyone right away?

I am going to say Atlanta, they were the first team I thought of. my longshot special is Baltimore.

i don't see anyone picking him up if he can't pass a physical. what would the incentive be to acquire him? he's over 30, with questionable heath issues, and eroding skills.

 
I still have a tough time believing MIA will cut him anytime soon. Maybe in August when the injury doesn't come around, but not till Green proves he's ready and knows the system. I don't know the implications contract / guaranteed $ wise related to cutting CPepp.

Primarially because Green, while familiar with Cameron's offense, still needs to learn the playbook and prove he's not still looking like the deer in the headlights in game situations. I give TG props for continuing to want to start in the NFL, but in addition to the resulting significant medical & confidence issues -that hit he took last year took a lot out of him. I may be completely wrong on this, but unless DC is hurt WAY worse than they've been letting on, I doubt MIA is ready (right now) to risk the upcoming season w/ Green & Lemon. If they really were, don't you think they would gladly given up the 4th round pick 2 months ago vs. bickering over one round???

Just a guess, but if DC is relaeased sooner than later, I think TN might bring him in to backup and mentor VY. Collins is done - just collecting a paycheck @ this point.

IIRC he wasn't that good without Moss there.Sure a homecoming in a way, but I don't know if they drop that kind of coin on him.

I don't think he's getting a lot of coin anywhere until he proves that he's healthy.

Correct. And the only team that seems very unsettled at QB (not saying every team has great options, but every other team has SOME options) is Minnesota.
 
Culpepper is not going to Minnesota. Not if Brad Childress is the coach. Too much bad blood on Daunte's way out.

I really don't see him going anywhere until Miami knows what they have at QB in training camp.

Sure they wanted Green, but Green may be done. Unless they're looking to save money, I see no reason why they wouldn't want a Green-Culpepper training camp battle.

If they do axe Daunte, I think he ends up in Jax with his buddy Mike Tice. Jax is the one place that doesn't seem like they have a QB of the future and are just hoping either Lefty or DGar is servicable this year.

 
If he is willing to be a backup with no defined chance to start anytime in the next year, I would gladly take him on the Giants. Eli can use some competition and at the very least a competent backup. It would also give Culpepper a chance to get healthy and not have to push it to get back. He is still young enough where he can sit and heal for a year and still have plenty of time to get back into the game and become a starter down the road. If Eli doesn't take a step forward this year, I would not be against giving a player like Culpepper a real chance to start next year, so I would like to have him on our roster now while we can get him.

 
How about the Lions? They really have no backup right now or plans for the future and Kitna isn't a spring chicken. He'd be back in a dome with superior talent at the wr spot (something he has had before and flourished in.) When in STL Martz many of times sang C-Pepp's praise, it would be interesting atleast. I could see the Lions as his #1 destination...IF HE CAN PASS A PHYSICAL.

I could maybe see Dallas as well.

Buff....maybe

Chiefs...doubtful

 
If I was Culpepper, I would sign a one-year deal to be a backup for emergency purposes, and just get paid to rehab all year.

Then come fully healthy in '08

I don't think there is any chance of him coming to the Lions. Marinelli and Martz both like Kitna, and there have been a lot of great reports about Stanton since the OTA's started. Culpepper was never great at reading defenses, and would be a poor fit in Martz's offense.

:bs: Anyone who thinks there is any chance in hell Culpepper goes back to Minnesota needs to turn in their "shark" card at the door. In addition to the bad blood, Culpepper is no longer a fit for MN, even if healthy. Childress' offense is not the kind of offense Culpepper is suited for.

The knee is not all that's wrong.The bigger problem is that Culpepper is a lolly gagger on top of being slow at processing info and making decisions on the field.In the past, he simply ran away from problems and threw it long to Moss.Now- he can't execute an NFL offense. EVen though Green may be gun shy, he knows what he should be doing with the football. Culpepper would fit in with the play ground offense that Vick runs in Atlanta, but only until Brian Brohm shows up next year.

Not only this, but after the boat trip, and the owner coming out with the personal conduct policies, to bring him back would be foolish from a PR standpoint. I can't see the owner allowing Culpepper to come back.

A few people are saying this, and as Rex isn't good, it seems to make sense, but CPep is very much not the type of QB Chicago and Lovie Smith will want. If they wanted a QB, they should have gone after Green. I voted JAX, but that's probably not right either, he won't be starting anywhere this year, barring injury.Now, Indianapolis, behind Peyton...
 
Wherever he goes, there's little chance he'll be a starter this year unless the guy ahead of him gets hurt.

Why not St. Louis. Linehan was his OC in Minnesota when he put up big numbers. Bulger does have a tendency to get hurt and CPep is probably better than Frerotte or Fitzpatrick, isn't he?

I think the likliest spots are St. Louis, Jacksonville, and Atlanta.

Conversely, if there's such a thing as "less than zero", that's the percent chance of Culpepper returning to Minnesota.

 
In general, what I see is Culpepper going somewhere where he can be a #2 this season, with a decent chance to get an opportunity to get in a game or 3, and also allowing him to get healthy. I see nothing more than a 1 year contract. I would think he wants to at least play in a game or 2 to show something for the following offseason.

I don't see him going to a team like the Bengals or Indy where the starter is a clear #1, unless the starter is up in years aka a Favre or McNair type.

There really aren't too many places he can go with a realistic chance of getting into a game or 2 this season.

Not saying its remotely possible, but the only other QB on the Bengals roster other than Palmer is the 5th round rookie Jeff Rowe. I was thinking Atlanta, until I remembered harrington went there.

I voted Jacksonville also......JAX has Mike Tice CPep's old Head Coach.

I'm with you on everything you said but the offense not being suited for Culpepper. Childress is running a form of the WCO just like Green did when he was there. But, there is no way Cupepper goes back to Minnesota.
 
Long shot: ESPN running plays on their game day field

Makes the most sense: Retires to FL

My Pick: He goes to New England and gets in a fight with Moss during pre-game warm ups, adding color and warmth to the NE press

Jacksonville is definitely a possibility ... the coaching staff has no confidence in Leftwich and Garrard is not a long-term answer. Leftwich will be this year's starter by default but if the team can land Culpepper on the cheap, it's a definite possibility. Don't forget .. Jacksonville is a small market team that can't make a profit like the larger market teams (Atlanta) or a longstanding team w/ a lot of history (Green Bay). They don't need to take a risk player like Culpepper, but if a team like Jax can land a somewhat of a big name player in Culpepper, it'll create a semi-buzz in the local media which may translate to more seats being filled... and that's what it's really all about.. $$$

i know what you are saying as far as the lions goes, but if they had any interest in anyone it would have been Trent Green. Martz must truly be sold on Kitna because he knows Green very well and seems to get just about anything he wants from Millen and Marinelli, its not like the asking price for green was very high.

If he would take a year off, I could see this.It might be coachspeak, but the Ravens really like Troy Smith. :lmao:

They also liked Boller! Honestly I don't think the coaching staff knows what they are looking for when it comes the QB position but that's a topic for another thread.McNair is good for 1 more year tops. I really don't think Troy Smith is the answer. If he was I think he would have went sooner in the draft. The championship game exposed his weaknesses. I see him getting cut just before training camp, as Miami will be trying to shop him to the highest bidder. When cut I could see A|TL or Balt. taking shots at him.

it is when you rely on mobility, and your knees are shot
 
Adam Schefler reported on the NFL Network that 3 unidentified teams were interested in Culpepper. Several teams were not interested including Minnesota and Oakland.
