Ex-Raider Culpepper, Lions Agree On 2-Year Deal

DETROIT, Michigan (AP) ― Veteran quarterback and former Oakland Raider Daunte Culpepper reportedly has agreed to a two-year contract with the Detroit Lions.

Lions spokesman Bill Keenist said the team had no comment on Saturday's ESPN report.

The report, which didn't cite a source, indicated Culpepper would sign the deal on Monday.

An e-mail seeking comment was sent to Culpepper, who acts as his own agent.

The 31-year-old Culpepper worked out for Detroit earlier in the week, taking a step toward returning to the NFL after announcing plans to retire in September because he was frustrated over not finding work.

He was a three-time Pro Bowler for the Minnesota Vikings, but a knee injury limited his effectiveness with the Miami Dolphins in 2006 and the Raiders in 2007.
