Winless Lions roll dice, sign Culpepper pending physical

CHICAGO -- Daunte Culpepper and the Detroit Lions have agreed on a contract, although the length and financial terms of the deal were not clear.

Coach Rod Marinelli, who made the announcement after his team's 27-23 loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday, would not answer questions but did say the deal hinges on the results of a pending non-orthopedic physical.

At 0-8, the Lions clearly need help.

How much the 31-year-old Culpepper can provide remains to be seen. He planned to retire in December because he was frustrated over not finding work after a knee injury limited him with the Miami Dolphins in 2006 and Oakland Raiders in 2007.

Dan Orlovsky started the past four games, with Jon Kitna out for the rest of the season with a back injury.
