Chris Mortensen just reported that the Vikings want to trade Culpepper in the next 24 hours. He said the dolphins and raiders are the front runners but he also said the Jets may get into the sweepstakes. He also said he feels Drew Brees will land in Miami
This sure would fill a need. Clearly the Jets are lacking a high-priced QB with question marks coming off a catastrophic injury.
Calm down, you don't actually think that will happen do you? Mortensen is just talking out of his ass...You think Mangini will want Boat Lover boy? By the way can you edit your post so it doesnt take up more than the screen?
Just being mentioned as a possible team for him scares me. I wouldn't tkae this guy if he came free. Give me Chad at 80%, give me Brooks, give me Vinny, give me sage Rosenfels- anyone but daunte!

Vikings not passing up Culpepper trade Adam Schefter By Adam Schefter NFL Analyst (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. 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.
