The Lions have finally confirmed an earlier report here that free agent quarterback Daunte Culpeper is visiting the team at its Allen Park practice facility. Whether Culpepper eventually will sign a contract with the Lions is unknown.

 

It's not usual for free agents to visit teams Tuesday, the day that clubs continue to maintain their "short list'' in case of injury to other players. Last week, the Lions brought in free-agent quarterback Tim Rattay for a workout.

 

 

What makes the Culpepper situation more interesting is that Culpepper was scheduled to visit the Kansas City Chiefs today, presumably to sign a contract, but he canceled that visit, saying that he had a better offer from another club. Culpepper did not identify that team.

 

Culpepper's career took a noticeable downturn when Randy Moss left the Vikings after the 2004 season. In their final season today, Culpepper started 16 games and threw 39 touchdown passes and just 11 interceptions. Without Moss the following season, Culpepper -- in just seven starts -- had six touchdowns and 12 interceptions.

 

Culpepper spent the 2006 season with the Miami Dolphins, getting four starts and throwing two touchdowns and three interceptions. Last year, Culpepper started six games with the Oakland Raiders and had five touchdown passes and five interceptions.

That would be a good move for the Lions. They would get a vet with an arm that can move around and run but who is also a big guy and won't get sacked with a feather. I wanted him for the Bears backup spot.

 

he cant do any of those things....
