VIKES HAVE OPTIONS FOR CULPEPPER



Despite reports that the Vikings have found a trade partner for quarterback Daunte Culpepper, we're told that the team has multiple options.



A deal, as reported elsewhere and as we've confirmed, will be struck within the next 24 hours, and the transaction will be consummated after 12:01 a.m. on Saturday, because trades can't be made until the next league year starts.



As to his health, we're told that he actually is on track to play in 2006, and that he'll be ready for training camp.



Said one league source: "G.M.’s should be standing in line to get this guy and the smart ones are."



Stay tuned. Our guess (and it's only a guess) is that it'll be the Rams, and we predict that current starter Marc Bulger will be part of the package that gets sent to the Vikings.
