QB Culpepper close to deal with raiders - Page 2

NAPA, Calif. (July 31, 2007) -- The NFL Network's Adam Schefter reports the Oakland Raiders are prepared to sign Daunte Culpepper to a one-year contract -- assuming all goes well when the 30-year-old quarterback works out for the team.

Culpepper held a private workout for a member of the Raiders' personnel department July 30 in Florida and did well enough there to persuade the team to fly him out to California for an additional workout

"Anytime that we have a chance to investigate something that can help our team win, were going to do it," Raiders coach Lane Kiffin said. "Obviously Daunte is something that we've been looking into for a little bit. This is kind of the climax of it, working him out."

Culpepper began 2006 as Miami's starter but had trouble with his mobility and was sacked 21 times in the first four games. The Dolphins shut him down so he could continue rehabbing and eventually placed him on injured reserve. When they acquired Trent Green in a trade with Kansas City this offseason, Culpepper became expendable.

The Dolphins tried unsuccessfully to trade Culpepper a year after acquiring him from Minnesota. When Miami could find no takers, the former Pro Bowl quarterback was released on July 17. Culpepper met with Tampa Bay two days later but did not receive a contract offer.

The Raiders have an interest in Culpepper in part due to the holdout of No. 1 overall pick JaMarcus Russell. Russell has yet to sign a contract with Oakland, and Kiffin indicated negotiations between the two sides had slowed.

Kiffin acknowledged that Russell's situation was a precursor to bringing Culpepper in for a workout.

"Sure it is," Kiffin said. "You've gotta protect your team (and) put yourselves in the best position to win and make sure that you have the right depth and competition at each spot."

I doubt a Raider fan even remembers what a 6 win team looks like.

How many years and counting has it been for KC to reach the big game? Probably longer than you have been alive.

Again, be happy that the Hunt family lets you use the shithole you call a stadium. Lord knows you turds haven't done anything to deserve playing there.

Way to help Josh McKown's confidence.

and what has KC done to even deserve a team? By the way just out of the AFC west SD has been to SB 1, Denver 6X, Oakland 4x since KC's last SB game. That is 11 appearences by AFC west teams and 12 if you count seattle since KC's last game. Teams such as Tampa Bay, Tennesse, Philadelphia, expansion Carolina, Atlanta for crying out loud, have all been there since KC. KC has just plain sucked and choked every chance it has had over the past 37 years. By the way trivia question, Who has more playoff wins in the past 5 years the worst team in the league Oakland or KC Chiefs? Oakland has been FAR a much more successful franchise than KC has been.

Just what the **** are you trying to accomplish by coming here anyway? Don't you think we are all aware of what our team hasn't done over the years? I'll tell you what ****wad, the worst day of being a Chiefs fan is still better than the best day of being a dirty filthy ****ing scumbag Raider fan. Now go back under the bridge you came from you piece of shit troll.
