The Lions were vague on Wednesday regarding free agent quarterback Daunte Culpepper, whom they met with earlier this week. Coach Rod Marinelli said Culpepper "moved around good" during his workout Tuesday but said little else. "We don't know where we're at with it right now," Marinelli said. "But it's a very good, veteran football player that's been a very good player in this league, and he's young." Starting quarterback Dan Orlovsky appeared to play dumb when informed that the Lions brought Culpepper in for a workout. "Oh, we did?" Orlovsky said. "Didn't even know that. Did not know. Just found out. No thoughts."

Veteran quarterback Daunte Culpepper visited the Lions Tuesday morning and has initiated contract negotiations following a workout, according to an ESPN.com report.

The Lions brought free agent quarterback Tim Rattay, an eight-year NFL veteran, in for a workout on Tuesday. Detroit could add a veteran quarterback to their roster this season because Drew Henson still has practice squad eligibility.

After watching Dallas lose cornerbacks Terence Newman and Adam Jones to injury and suspension, and Green Bay lose Al Harris to injury, veteran NFL cornerback Ty Law said he would like to try to help one of those teams ? or another playoff contender ? at a position in which they could use it.

Law said Thursday he would welcome the chance to speak to either of those teams ? or any other in contention.

Shaun Alexander will be brought into visit the Redskins on Tuesday, and they likely will sign him to a contract, according to two sources close to the situation. Alexander, released by the Seahawks during the offseason, has visited the Saints, Bengals, and Lions, but this is appears to be his first real chance of landing a job.

Eli Manning is under contract through 2009 and was asked about a report in The Record that the Giants and his agent had discussed a new deal. ?There has been no talk, and it is not my concern,? Manning said. ?Not on my watch right now. I haven?t even thought about that situation.? RealGM Note: Manning is currently ranked 13th in season FIC, giving him a Reina Value of -30% as he 'deserves' a cap hit of $9M. But he has played in one fewer game than all but one of the other 12 quarterbacks, and his per game FIC puts him currently at 7th.
