Culpepper talking to Raiders

Adam Schefter of NFL Network has reported that the Oakland Raiders are in talks with Daunte Culpepper.

Some teams have been unwilling to sign C-Pepp because he is demanding just a 1 year contract but this makes sense for the Raiders, who selected JaMarcus Russell with the #1 overall selection in the NFL Draft.

Culpepper could start this season and give Russell an opportunity to watch and learn without taking a brutal pounding due to a horrible offensive line. The Raiders also need to be prepared incase the #1 draft pick holds out for an extended period of time.
