Back in 2003, the Minnesota Vikings signed Daunte Culpepper to his own massive extension.
In 2003, Daunte Culpepper was coming off of his fourth season as a member of the Minnesota Vikings. During his first four years with the team, Culpepper led the Vikings to one appearance in the NFC Championship while also establishing himself as one of the top dual-threat quarterbacks in the NFL.
After the 2002 season, the Minnesota signal-caller was entering the fifth and final year of his rookie contract. Culpepper could’ve potentially become a free agent in 2004, but the Vikings decided to prevent that from happening by rewarding him with a lucrative contract extension.
