Well, the Lions have their starter for Sunday.
Culpepper, Lions agree to two-year deal to put him at the helm
Less than two weeks after announcing that he's coming out of retirement, quarterback Daunte Culpepper has a new home.
Culpepper agreed Saturday to a two-year deal with the Detroit Lions. Terms of the deal, scheduled to be signed on Monday, are unknown.
Culpepper canceled a scheduled trip to Kansas City to instead visit the Lions earlier in the week.
Culpepper left the Lions on Tuesday without a deal but kept in touch, trying to find a home for this season and next season. After several days of negotiations, Culpepper agreed that Detroit was the best fit for him.
In September, Culpepper announced his retirement after being offered only one-year deals. Culpepper felt ignored despite his belief in his skills, and when he couldn't find a long-term home he announced his retirement at the age of 31.
In agreeing to a deal with Culpepper, the Lions have a quarterback to help finish this season and take them into next season. Culpepper, a former Vikings starter, has great knowledge of the NFC North.
