Re: Where will Daunte Culpepper Play?

It's a great question, and I have no answer. I still don't think his knee checks out in time to start anywhere on opening day, but some team will have a roster spot for him.

Immediately, I would disqualify Detroit. There is a very particular type of quarterback Mike Martz likes to employ, and Culpepper is about the exact opposite.

Washington is the type of team that used to be all over a situation like this, but if Snyder/Gibbs are smart, they'll forget about it right now. The last thing Jason Campbell needs is yet another veteran quarterback standing in his way.

Baltimore already has Steve McNair, and I still think they give Boller another year or two. The third roster spot is Troy Smith's.

Oakland almost seems to make the most sense, but for some reason, I don't see it happening. They like McCown a lot, they're not ready to dump Walter, and then there's obviously Russell. There's no room.

Chicago seems pretty happy with Griese as the veteran backup to push Grossman, but it wouldn't surprise me if they showed interest. Knowing a lot about Culpepper, having played him over a dozen times in the division, they'll either be really high or really low on him.

Cleveland is another team I wouldn't be surprised to read about in the coming weeks. A Brady Quinn holdout has been rumoured, and the Browns have no solid third quarterback after Charlie Frye.

Finally, there's Minnesota. A week ago, I would have said no chance in hell. But from all accounts of their latest minicamp, Tarvaris Jackson is having a lot of trouble with the offense, and hasn't looked comfortable throwing the ball at all. The backup is Brooks Bollinger. If Culpepper wants to come back to Minnesota, and that's a huge IF, I could see it happening.
