DAUNTE UPDATE
The Vikings spent much today on the phones, finalizing a deal for quarterback Daunte Culpepper.
As of 7 p.m. ET, it was difficult to pinpoint where Culpepper is headed.
But it's not difficult to pinpoint where he's not.
A Sunshine State native, Daunte Culpepper starred at the University of Central Florida. He's not being traded to New Orleans. A Saints official said the team is not in the running for Culpepper, and New Orleans will push hard for Brees.
A Raiders official said Oakland never made an offer to Minnesota, even though the two sides spoke. The Raiders official said the team is absolutely out of the Culpepper sweepstakes.
The Baltimore Ravens are not interested in Culpepper, and likely will be pursuing Kerry Collins.
Late today, a Jets official confirmed his team won't pursue Culpepper.
Unless some team is lying -- and the teams mentioned above were adamant in their responses -- that leaves the Miami Dolphins as the only team that has admitted to being in the market for a quarterback.
Culpepper probably would be thrilled at the idea of returning home to Florida. He would be happy, the Dolphins likely would be happy, and the Vikings would be happy.
Now we wait to see if this bit of sense makes reality.
