When Free agency began this year, I had a new sense of excitement about continuing to rebuild my career in the same way that I had rebuilt my knee after my catastrophic injury in 2005. Unfortunately, what I found out was that the league did not share any of the optimism about me as an Unrestricted Free Agent that I expected. In fact, there was an overwhelming sense that there was no room for me among this year's group of quarterbacks; whether in a starting, competing or a back-up role. No matter what I did or said, there seemed to be a unified message from teams that I was not welcome to compete for one of the many jobs that were available at the quarterback position. It seems that the stance I took in both Minnesota and Miami regarding my rights as a person and player has followed me into Free Agency.

His letter.

Bye you jackass!


clarification: The jackass comment is for Culpepper, not a fellow poster!

Maybe he'll spend more time on being an Agent.

Maybe he'll spend more time on being an Agent.

Maybe Culpepper and Master P will open an "Agency" together.

In fairness I cant believe that he never got a try out in KC where the QB position is brutal.

But when your getting beaten out by Byron Leftwich for a roster spot that says everything really.

Good luck Daunte.
