Aaron Veteran Posted March 10, 2006 Veteran Share Posted March 10, 2006 SOURCE (March 9, 2006) -- The Minnesota Vikings have a deal in place to trade quarterback Daunte Culpepper, team officials confirmed Thursday. The trade is imminent, with the deal expected to go through Friday, just before the start of free agency. Where Culpepper is going is the biggest mystery in the league. As of now, it is not Oakland. The Raiders and Vikings spoke Thursday, but Oakland is trying to gauge whether or not it wants to try to match, or beat, the other teams' offer. It will spend Thursday night mulling its decision. Daunte Culpepper couldn't get along with the new regime in Minnesota. But the Vikings have made it clear that they have found a suitable trade partner, with suitable compensation, and now Culpepper and the Vikings each will get their wish. They will part ways, leaving on more bitter terms than wide receiver Randy Moss left Minnesota last season. Culpepper could not get along with new Vikings coach Brad Childress, and the quarterback has upset various members of the organization with what they feel is his immature behavior. Their relationship, by all accounts, will end Friday. But the only ones who knows where Culpepper's next relationship will resume are the Vikings and their trading partner. Teams in need of quarterbacks include Miami, New Orleans, Detroit, the New York Jets, the Baltimore Ravens and the Oakland Raiders, who still have not released Kerry Collins, even if it has been reported that they have. Chances are, one of those places will be Culpepper's home this season. Miami, maybe. New Orleans has a high draft pick and stands to get a young QB in Jay Cutler (according to some mock drafts I've seen). NYJ, maybe. Baltimore, I don't know - is the Kyle Boller experiment finsished and when have they NOT needed a QB?

Stone Gaijin Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Personally, I think good riddance, I want to stay with Brad Johnson. I still think he ends up in Miami, or Oakland..... with Moss. let me clarify, Miami because of Linahan Oakland because of Moss Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/441237-nfl-where-is-culpepper-going/#findComment-587292463 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatnipOligarchy Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 yeah Oakland seems the most likely. In need of a QB under 40, and he's played with Moss before.

IceDogg Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 I wonder if Oakland can handle it with their current Salary cap and all? Yea, that's a question.

axis Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Detroit or the Ravens. Detroit would give up some of its wonderful recievers, cant have all that and Culpepper...Brad Johnson can throw a football, recievers in Tampa were not runners. The Ravens can give up some defensive stars, plug in some other people they can make good, like Tampa does. Boller gone, both teams have a quarterback they want, Boller becomes trade bait for another reciever or two perhaps?

lawtai Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Looks like the Dolphins will be a lot better now that they have an actual QB this year. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/441237-nfl-where-is-culpepper-going/#findComment-587320899 Share on other sites More sharing options...
