Breaking news from the NFL Network. Daunte Culpepper has announced his retirement from the league. In an email he sighted his inability to land a job as the reason for his retirement. The email was actually quite sad as Culpepper expressed extreme disappointment at not being able to resurrect his career.
I always thought that Culpepper was a quarterback that greatly beneifited from the system he played under in Minnesota and having Randy Moss didn't hurt either. Although I saw some flashes of ability left last season when he was with the Raiders and I'm a little surprised that no one picked him up as a solid backup.
Here are his career numbers:
Completions - 1,867
Attempts - 2,927
Completion Percentage - 63.8
Yards - 22,422
Average - 7.7
TD - 142
INT - 94
Rating - 89.9
