GREEN BAY -- The Green Bay Packers' search for a backup to new starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers has taken an interesting turn: Free agent Daunte Culpepper is visiting the team today.

An NFL source confirmed this afternoon that Culpepper, the former Minnesota Vikings Pro Bowl quarterback who spent the last two seasons with the Miami Dolphins and Oakland Raiders, is at Lambeau Field today meeting with team officials.

The 31-year-old Culpepper arrived in town Tuesday evening.

The 6-foot-4, 264-pound Culpepper went to three Pro Bowls with the Vikings, before a devastating knee injury in 2005 derailed his career. Culpepper tore the ACL, MCL and PCL in his right knee in an Oct. 30, 2005 loss to Carolina.

Originally the 11th overall pick in the 1999 NFL draft, Culpepper's best season was 2004, when he completed 69.2 percent of his passes for 4,717 yards, with 39 TDs and only 11 INTs for a 110.9 passer rating. He also ran 88 times for 406 yards and a pair of TDs that year and led the Vikings to an NFC wild card playoff victory over the Packers at Lambeau Field.

Last season with the Raiders, Culpepper played in seven games (six starts) and completed 58.1 percent of his passes for 1,331 yards, five touchdowns and five interceptions for a rating of 78.0.

In 2006, Culpepper started just four games for the Dolphins because of lingering problems with his knee, completing 60.4 percent of his throws for 929 yards, with two TDs, three INTs and a 77.0 rating.
