Raiders give Culpepper a workout

The Raiders gave free-agent quarterback Daunte Culpepper a workout Monday in Florida, a league source confirmed Monday, the latest indication No. 1 draft pick JaMarcus Russell's holdout could last awhile.
Personnel staffer George Streeter oversaw the workout with Culpepper, an eight-year veteran who was cut by the Miami Dolphins on July 17.The tryout came as Raiders coach Lane Kiffin praised quarterback Josh McCown, who is splitting first-team snaps with Andrew Walter.
"He's shown us that he continues to make plays," Kiffin said after a morning practice Monday. "As you watch the film, god, he's not scared of anything. If you watch him around his team now, this team kind of watched him a little bit. I guess you can call him the guy, he's a real guy. You notice it, the receivers, the linemen, he's fitting in really well."

Re: Raiders give Culpepper a workout

This is one place where Daunte might make sense. He and Russell are similar in build, and he could fill in during Russell's holdout and start while the kid's learning. Might not be the worst mentor in the world for him either.

Re: Raiders give Culpepper a workout

Yeah, this could work for the Raiders and Culpepper. If he can do it here, he can do it anywhere.
Better mentor than Jeff George I think.
