Daunte Culpepper Shyly Drags Foots in Dirt, Bats Eyelashes at Packers

Daunte Culpepper does not need an agent; not when he is so good at passive-aggressive free agency. Just listen to him remind the Packers, without being too pushy about it, that the Packers don't have a veteran QB on their roster.

Says Culpepper, "My ears are definitely opened to listen if they need a proven backup for Aaron [Rodgers]."

Before you scoff at that quote, keep in mind that Daunte doesn't say what he is "proven" at doing. Proven tiny hands fumbler? Proven to be replaced by rookies at his last 2 NFL stops? He doesn't say. But imagine for a moment, what it would do to the confidence of those rookie back-up QBs in Green Bay when they beat out Daunte Culpepper, who once upon a time, had 2 really good years in the league.

Other offers that Daunte is willing to listen to:

If Randy Moss wants to put in a good word for him in New England, Daunte certainly could not stop him, but he isn't asking Randy to do anything of the sort. But Daunte wonders whether Tom Brady can ever make Randy as happy as Daunte made Randy.

If his girlfriend wants to cook him a batch of fresh chocolate chip cookies, Daunte would be willing to eat them.

Daunte realizes that he may be moving soon, and if you want to help him pack, he would be cool with that. But Daunte does think it is weird you haven't offered yet. I mean, you haven't helped anyone move in months.
