Dante turns down Packers

OCALA - Daunte Culpepper did indeed turn down an offer from the Green Bay Packers, the free agent NFL quarterback confirmed Saturday, but he declined to explain exactly why.
"It just wasn't good for either side," said Culpepper on a short break from fellow Vanguard High School graduate Drayton Florence's annual Make It Happen Youth Football Camp.
The Green Bay Press-Gazette reported this week that the Packers met with Culpepper and fellow free agent quarterbacks Quinn Gray and Gus Frerotte in an effort to fill the backup spot behind starter Aaron Rodgers. The report indicated that the team extended Culpepper a 1-year, $1 million contract offer, which Culpepper refused, leading the media to adopt the conventional wisdom that the Ocala native is waiting for a starting job, or at least a fair opportunity to earn one in training camp.
Culpepper confirmed Saturday that he did turn down the Packers' offer but said the report was "not the whole story," though he would not elaborate.
"I don't want to comment on it too much," he said.
Culpepper did say he would like to be a starter this season, but stopped short of saying he was "holding out" for that opportunity.
"I hope that, you know, that's what I want, in a perfect world. But we'll see what happens," Culpepper said.
"I'm just waiting for the right situation for me. I'm in talks with a couple of different teams right now."
Culpepper declined to identify those teams. Asked if he'd be interested in joining Florence with the nearby Jacksonville Jaguars, a team he has been linked to in each of the past two summers, Culpepper only laughed.
"You never know," he said. "You never know."
A first-round draft pick of the Minnesota Vikings in 1999, Culpepper was among the league's elite quarterbacks until he suffered a devastating knee injury in 2005. He was traded a year later to the Miami Dolphins, who released Culpepper after a season cut short by another surgery on his knee. The three-time Pro Bowler played in seven games for the Oakland Raiders last year, throwing for 1,331 yards with 5 touchdowns and 5 interceptions and adding 3 rushing touchdowns.

wait, are we having an over the hill QB convention today?

Dante is utter garbage. He was made because of Moss and for a year Carter. He was handed the best receiver in NFL history and cannot live without him.

Culpepper is done, that dude just sucks.
