Minnesota Vikings quarterback Daunte Culpepper's 2005 season was cut short by a major knee injury
The Minnesota Vikings have put quarterback Daunte Culpepper on the trading block after the quarterback asked for a $10 million raise, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported Thursday.

The Baltimore Sun also said Thursday that the Baltimore Ravens are considering placing the franchise tag on running back Jamal Lewis and then trading him for Culpepper.

The Star Tribune said Culpepper asked for a raise three times during a six-week period, the latest on Jan. 31, when he met with owner Zygi Wilf, new head coach Brad Childress and vice president Rob Brzezinski. At that meeting, Culpepper asked that his salary be boosted from $8 million to $18 million for the 2006 season.
Wilf rejected the request of Culpepper, whose 2005 season was marred by a major injury to his right knee and then his alleged involvement with a party boat sex scandal. He has been charged with three misdemeanors in connection with the Oct. 6 incident on Lake Minnetonka.

Hopefully the Raiders are getting ready to make the call to the Vikings to see what they are expecting to get in return for Dante.I would love to see him in a Raiders uniform again linking up with Randy Moss.....
