Missed that one.

I dont know what everyone is talking about when they say we will save a lot of cap space by getting rid of him. It has been reported by multiple sources that we will save only 2.3 mil in cap space by trading or releasing him. That isnt very much at all.

Boy if trade him for a 3rd rounder that's just piss-poor. Our management team should be flogged for shipping out a franchise QB for a 3rd rounder. Man, we sure know how to get the short end of trades!

I say we tell the fins to go fish, hold on to culpepper and trade him next year. I don't see his stock going anywhere but up with that. Also dante did say that he is willing to honor his contractual obligations in case a trade is not done. Of course, the dante haters don't want to remember that. This way we can give rad some competition for the starting job and not have to worry about finding a backup QB.

You're right,BUT,the way Vikes are spending money(just signed Steve Hutchinson),how can they afford to keep him?

The Raiders are once again negotiating with the Vikes for Culpepper. It was reported on ESPNEWS tonight that the Raiders are talking to the Vikes about a trade. However, Oakland has said that they will not get into a bidding war with another team.

Doesn't look like there are any teams left.

Again I will state that if there is not a good trade to keep him on IR, and if they are worried about how he will affect the team, tell him to stay home out of the locker room. Then trade him next year when he's healthy. Maybe his attitude will improve by then also.

After the year he would sit out though, teams will just say that he hasn't played in a year on top of the other stuff. No way.
