Vikings | Wilf and Culpepper trade shots
Thu, 16 Mar 2006 10:35:30 -0800

Sean Jensen, of the Pioneer Press, reports Miami Dolphins QB Daunte Culpepper and Minnesota Vikings owner Zygi Wilf blamed each other for the way Culpepper's career in Minnesota came to an end. Culpepper said, "Up until March 6, I felt I was going to be a Minnesota Viking. It really wasn't about money. It was about the principle of the whole thing. The way I see myself is way more important than any dollar amount that someone can throw at me." Wilf claims, "We tried everything to have him be our leader. But it seemed like a lot of things that happened last year, between the injury and the (Love Boat) incident, he felt it was time to move on. … His attitude has been building up since we asked him to work out up here. He decided, against everyone's suggestion, that he was going to do things independently on his own."

I don't know who title'd this blurb, but that is SERIOUSLY weak smack.

Packers | Team will likely extend deadline for Favre's roster bonus
Fri, 17 Mar 2006 00:02:44 -0800

Tom Silverstein, of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, reports the Green Bay Packers will likely extend the deadline for QB Brett Favre's $3 million roster bonus. The bonus is due Monday, March 20, but might get pushed back while he considers retirement. The terms of the contract state he would become an unrestricted free agent if the bonus is not paid, but both sides have an understanding that the deadline will be delayed while Favre decides his future with the team.

Bears | Team to visit with Griese
Fri, 17 Mar 2006 05:36:49 -0800

Brad Biggs, of the Chicago Sun-Times, reports the Chicago Bears plan to visit with free agent QB Brian Griese (Buccaneers) perhaps as soon as the end of the weekend. If he signs with the Bears, Griese would begin as the No. 2 quarterback behind starting QB Rex Grossman, but eventually might push him for the starting job. Griese still is rehabilitating his left knee after tearing the ACL and MCL in an Oct. 16 game against the Miami Dolphins. He is expected to be ready for training camp but would have to pass a physical.

Lions | More about Harrington's upcoming release
Fri, 17 Mar 2006 05:48:06 -0800

Nicholas J. Cotsonika, of the Detroit Free Press, reports Detroit Lions QB Joey Harrington left Detroit in January after the 2005 season thinking he might need a fresh start somewhere else, even if it meant giving up millions of dollars and accepting a backup job. When the new coaching staff came in and the Lions showed him support, Harrington was caught off-guard. When he walked into the Lions' Allen Park headquarters last week for "quarterback school" with offensive coordinator Mike Martz, he just got the feeling the damage was done. He couldn't buy back into the idea that he could lead the Lions to victory because the team chemistry was too bad. He expressed his concerns, and the Lions agreed to let him go. Harrington is expected to be traded or released by the weekend.

That Guy · 03-17-2006, 02:44 PM
