Bye Bye Culpepper & Fargus??

Posted by Michael Loede on December 27th, 2007 filed in Main, News, Opinions

With QB Daunte Culpepper and RB Justin Fargus being placed on the IR list Weds 12-26, not only has the season ended for these Raiders, but more then likely their time in the Silver & Black as well.  Culpepper signed a 1 year contract in training camp and missed the past 4 games with a quad injury.  He would like to be a started somewhere, and with #1 draft pick JaMarcus Russell figuring to take over full time next year, it seems highly unlikely that Culpepper will return to the Raiders.   Fargus, an un-restricted free agent, sprained a knee 2 weeks ago.  He is looking to test the free market waters after coming off his first 1000 yard season, and there are plenty of teams looking to boost their running attack.  As with Culpepper, it is un-likely that he will return to the Raiders.
