Daunte Culpepper, Former Minnesota Vikings Pro Bowler Loses Florida Home To Foreclosure

Former three time Pro Bowl quarterback Daunte Culpepper has lost his Florida homeDaunt to foreclosure.

Sun Trust Bank filed a foreclosure suit on the 9,867-square-foot Broward County  home four months ago, naming Culpepper, his wife and DRKRC Land Trust as plaintiffs for the Southwest Ranches property. In April, the home was formally surrendered to the bank in lieu of $3 million in debt deemed to be delinquent.

Culpepper, 36, played 11 NFL seasons for the Miami Dolphins, Minnesota Vikings, Oakland Raiders and Detroit Lions. Prior to that, he starred at the University of Central Florida, where he amassed 30 school quarterbacking records, including the NCAA record for highest single-season completion percentage once held by Steve Young.

According to the South Florida Business Journal, Culpepper bought the home for $3.67 million in 2006, the same year the Dolphins obtained him in a trade with the Vikings. Three years earlier, Minnesota had inked the strong-armed, 265-pound bruiser to a 10-year, $102 million deal that included a $16 million signing bonus.

After arriving in Miami, the Dolphins reworked his contract, granting him a $7 million signing bonus and a $1 million salary in the first year, then $51.5 million through 2013. But Culpepper struggled with injuries with the Dolphins and only lasted one season in Miami.

He last played for the United Football League’s Sacramento Mountain Lions in 2010.
