According to the Oakland Tribune, Raiders’ quarterback Andrew Walter underwent arthroscopic knee surgery Monday, sidelining him for four to six weeks.
One of our regular posters recently asked whether or not the Raiders might take a look at Daunte Culpepper now that the Dolphins have said they will try to trade him after acquiring Trent Green on Tuesday. Well, it’s certainly a possibility now that Walter will be out most of the offseason.
The Raiders don’t want to rush rookie first overall pick JaMarcus Russell, so now with Walter going to be sidelined for some time, they may feel out Miami on a possible trade for Culpepper. I’m just speculating at this point, but if Oakland could get Culpepper for a sixth or seventh rounder, maybe they take a shot on him. Of course, this is all moot if Culpepper isn’t healthy – which he didn’t appear to be last year – or if he throws a fit after stating he would rather be cut than traded.
