I found this rumor very interesting. Could the Patriots possibly sign Daunte Culpepper as a backup for this season. From the South-Florida Sun Sentinel:
“I feel it is necessary to obtain a release rather than seek a trade so that I would not bring the excess baggage of my present contract to a new team,” he said. “I feel like my next team should have the opportunity to get to know me as a man and a player before they make any long-term commitment.”
Teams who possibly could be in the market for Culpepper’s services are the Jaguars, Patriots, Raiders, Rams and Ravens.

Culpepper has too much talent to be a backup QB despite his injuries involving his knee.

Daunte would be an awesome back up to Brady because he has history and experience with Randy Moss but he still has the goods to be a solid starter i cant figure out why no teams have taken him yet. If he aint signed by the season oprner the Pats should take him on as a back up for the season.

SIGN CULPEPPER! YOU CAN NEVER GO WRONG WITH THOSE 2. THEY WERE A DYNAMIC DUO IN MINNESOTA AND RANDY HAS BEEN TRYING TO GET THE PATS TO REUNITE THEM TOGETHER. CASSEL WAS GREAT AFTER BRADY’S INJURY, BUT CULPEPPER IS A VETERAN-CALIBER PLAYER THAT CAN GET IT DONE GAME IN-AND GAME-OUT.

Cassel was absolutely horrible. He made one good pass out of the end-zone when they were on the 1 yard line. His pass to Moss was awful, it was high and tumbled. He was also up against a terrible, terrible defense with 18 rookies on the field. We need a veteran. I am starting to wonder about the coach and these ridiculous decisions to stick with a guy who chokes and a rookie. I would not even meet with Simms and would make a call to Daunte.

I too agree the Pats should sign Culpepper. Although Cassel played a decent game in Brady’s absence, it was against a low calibre Chiefs D. Cassel probably could get them 10 wins & the playoffs with the soft schedule the Patriots have but to get further they’ll need an experienced vet like Daunte to do it. He knows the game & worked well with Moss when they were in Minny. I also remember when Bledsoe went down & an unproven Brady came in & took them to the promised land, it was a magical year that long suffering Pat fans will never forget. I’m not saying it can’t happen again with Cassel, but I’d sign Culpepper, you can’t lose. They’ll probably sign him after the Jets game as to not put added pressure on Cassel to perform on Sunday.
Anyway, I wish the Patriots the best & Godspeed to Tom Brady in his recovery.
GO PATRIOTS !!!
