The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and head coach Jon Gruden, who is never shy to flirt with any veteran quarterback, met with free agent Daunte Culpepper Thursday. Why? I have no idea, but I’m sure someone has a good reason for it.
I must not be getting something with the Bucs. They extended Chris Simms’ contract, drafted Bruce Gradkowski, signed Jeff Garcia, traded for Jake Plummer and now are talking with Culpepper. I know the Plummer thing fell through, but what the hell are they doing, trying to set the Guinness Book of World record for quarterbacks on a roster?
Garcia has to be feeling good with Tampa trying to acquire every quarterback who has ever taken a snap in the NFL to compete with him. “Hey listen Jeff, uh, we know we signed you to be the man, but you’re going to have to beat out Simms (both of them), Gradkowski, Plummer, Culpepper, Vick (both of them), Elway, Young, Montana, Namath, Theismann and Marino to start next year. Good luck hoss.”
