Daunte Culpepper Wants To Play For The Bills

We mentioned on Monday that free agent QB Daunte Culpepper was in Orlando at the NFL owners' meetings. He didn't have any "official" business to conduct but was there to see if he could drum up some interest in a job for the 2010 season.

ESPN's Tim Graham caught up with him and asked if there were any teams in particular he'd like to speak with.

"I would love to talk to Buffalo," Culpepper said. "I don't know if they'd have an open mind, but I'd love to talk to them. I would love to have a chance to compete there. Give me the opportunity. I can be the guy."

SB Nation's Buffalo Rumblings writes Culpepper's interest in Buffalo is more of an indictment on the Bills quarterback situation than Culpepper.

This team, thanks to the pool of mediocrity the team employs at the quarterback position, is now the proverbial promised land for washed-up veteran quarterbacks. Not all of them, mind you. Just the ones desperate enough to, quite literally, solicit themselves.

What does the Buffalo decision maker, GM Buddy Nix, think about this?

"I have no idea. I really don't know. I know that's what we got now, and it's open. Chan's made that clear. We're going to see who comes out. The fact that those are the three guys we got, we like all three of them, all of them got redeeming qualities, but if something else comes available, we might add a fourth to the mix. I don't know."

Head coach Chan Gailey didn't comment on the possibility of acquiring another quarterback but with the new management not tied to any of the quarterbacks on the roster, it wouldn't be surprising to see a free agent brought in (if the draft doesn't yield anything).
