From PFT:
ROSENFELS-TO-VIKES COMING TO FRUITION?
Posted by Mike Florio on February 23, 2009, 1:11 p.m.
Last year, the Minnesota Vikings nearly swung a deal for Texans backup quarterback Sage Rosenfels.
As rumors/reports had it, the Texans wanted a second-round pick, and the Vikes were willing to part only with a third-rounder.
This time around, the deal reportedly is close to happening, for a fourth-round selection.
The move would likely take the Vikings out of the running for a veteran quarterback in free agency, and it definitely would slam the door on speculation linking Matt Cassel to the men in purple.
Rosenfels is signed through 2009, at a base salary of $1.35 million.
Any deal could not be finalized until the start of the new league year, on Friday, February 27.
