MikesVikes Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Vikings reach agreement on Culpepper contract, including hefty raise Kevin Seifert, Star Tribune August 8, 2005 VIKE0808.OL The Vikings reached agreement today on a restructured contract for quarterback Daunte Culpepper, one that includes a major pay raise. Rob Brzezinski, the Vikings' vice president of football operations, confirmed the deal was struck. He would not reveal specifics but called the pay raise "significant." Culpepper signed a 10-year, $102 million contract prior to the 2003 season. That deal was largely incentive-based, however. Culpepper received a $2.5 million roster bonus in March, but according to NFL Players Association records, his base salary for this season would have been $540,000. The new deal will guarantee Culpepper higher salaries throughout his career with the Vikings. "He's a premier player in this league," Brzezinski said.

gimpster Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 On behalf of all of the Eagles fans, I would just like to say to thank the Vikings for giving T.O. something else to cry about. :doah: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
