NFL : Culpepper "unretires"

Culpepper returning for 'unfinished business'

Daunte Culpepper is ending his brief retirement.

The QB told USA TODAY in an e-mail he has been contacted by multiple teams. He said there are "real opportunities" for him to play in the second half of the season.

Culpepper did not identify what teams have contacted him or where he anticipates signing. He said he is "listening and waiting for the best fit." The Kansas City Star reported this week that Culpepper talked with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Culpepper also reiterated his motivation for retiring at the start of the season was the "absence of a fair opportunity to compete and play."

Here's the full statement he sent:

"A number of teams have contacted me since my retirement announcement and have provided some important information that has caused me to reconsider returning to the League. As much as I have enjoyed my brief break from playing, I know that I love the game and I have some unfinished business in the NFL. It has never been because of a lack of passion for the game but rather, the absence of a fair opportunity to compete and play that caused me to retire. Now that there are some real opportunities that match my desire to play, I will choose the one that is the best fit for both the team and me so that I can continue my NFL career. For the second half of this season, I hope to play a role in helping a team win some games. I want to thank all of those who encouraged me to 'keep a light on' for the right NFL opportunity that would eventually come back to me."
