Packers may sign Culpepper
Posted: Thursday April 24, 2008 07:49AM ET
Before the weekend is out, the Packers will have a quarterback other than Aaron Rodgers, Jerry Baab and Dalton Bell on their roster. It may just be veteran free agent Daunte Culpepper. After having the former Oakland, Miami and Minnesota quarterback in for a visit Wednesday, the Packers are seriously considering adding him to their roster. Culpepper is the only free agent left on the market with the talent to be a starter and the Packers, unsure of what the draft this weekend will provide, decided to call him.

Bring him into camp at least, cut him if he's still not very good. I'd rather have him backing up Rodgers so WHEN Rodgers gets hurt we have someone that can at least keep us competitive

Report Offensive CommentCulpepper has always stunk --- He has no Moss in Green Bay to make him seem credible - Green Bay has good recievers but none are Moss's caliber or size.... Culpepper was never that good - but Thompson didn't want Brett back and we know Rodgers will be injured .... Does Thompson maybe have an unemployed in-law to play QB ... Daunte cannot be plan B ...

Report Offensive CommentDaunte isnt a HOF QB but he is a starter and if you can get a starter to be your 2nd string QB you are in a good spot....Aaron better work out becoz I'm sure Daunte is sure you wont

Report Offensive CommentI like the idea. Even with Favre gone I will go out on a limb and say the Packers still have the best QB. Sorry Drunk Eli but the Packers are atill a better and younger team all around.

Report Offensive CommentWhoop de doo. Culpepper is only good on Madden NFL games, not in real life! Waste of time and money, I say.

Report Offensive CommentPlease God no. I would rather see my beloved Packers go 0-16 than have Culpepper wearing a G on his helmet.

Report Offensive CommentNice vote of confidence in Aaron Rodgers by the Pack if true.
gyruhd, while Moss did help Culpepper he had his best year, and one of the best ever, with Moss missing several games and going limpy in a bunch of others. He may not have it anymore, but what he was back then he was good enough without Moss.

Report Offensive CommentI thinks it's good for the Packers. I can't even tell who the back-up quarterback is now. The jury is still out on Aaron Rodgers and having a experienced veteran quarterback like Culpepper, who has experience in the NFC North, could pan out be a good situation for the Packers.

Report Offensive CommentCulpepper has become the journeyman that goes to a different team every year until, after about 8 teams, he is out of the league. Culpepper is washed up. For every 1 game he plays well, he stinks in 5 games. He is too fat. Leg injuries and weight have taken his best asset when he was in Minnesota, his running ability.

Report Offensive CommentDaunte Culpepper, one of the Green Bay Packers' chief rivals from his days with the Minnesota Vikings, could be the favorite to become Aaron Rodgers' top backup. Too bad for the Pack.
