Raiders Sign QB Daunte Culpepper (We're Now On Plan H)

The Oakland Raiders have signed free agent QB Daunte Culpepper, Raiders Head Coach Lane Kiffin announced after this afternoon's Training Camp practice at the team's Napa Valley Training Complex. The 6'4", 265-pound Culpepper spent last season with the Miami Dolphins. Culpepper, who is entering his ninth season in the NFL, spent the first seven years of his NFL career with the Minnesota Vikings.

"We are very excited to have Daunte, and add him to the mix and see if he can help us," Coach Kiffin said. "We think that he adds definite competition."

The former Central Florida star has played in 85 league games with 84 starts, and has completed 1,759 or 2,741 pass attempts for 21,091 yards, 137 TDs, and 89 INTs. His best season came in 2004 when he threw for 4,717 yards and 39 touchdowns.

Culpepper was originally selected in the first round (11th overall) of the 1999 NFL Draft by Minnesota

Jim Plunket fit Davis’ mold. Seemingly washed up veteran who just got it done.

Well, that was the problem. Pot head thought he could continue his festivities on the field.

Plunkett and the acquisition of Michael Haynes were the last good decisions Davis made as an owner.

Yeah, but that decision to draft him came ten years before they acquired Plunkett. He was great with the Raiders.

As evidenced by his 4 INT "performance" in the 91 Wild Card game against Kansas City.

Imagine what the Raiders could have done with a real quarterback.
