[chron.com] Rosenfels "Near Deal" to Vikings [Trade Finalized]

[Keith]

Rick's been working this deal for a long time. Way to make it happen.

"We've been working on this for two years, and it's finally come to fruition," Smith said. "It's really hard to get a trade done."

Is this a Chronicle type blunder....or does Rosencopter really have an agent named Rick Smith.......

I went to the Texans site and they confirmed that Rosenfels' agent really is named "Rick Smith" (they added "no relation to Texans' GM Rick Smith") - how freaky is that? - but even the official site won't confirm what we got in return which makes me wonder if this is for less than is being reported. Like a conditional draft pick or maybe it's for 2010 instead of this April.

NFL.com's transactions page has it for a 4th round pick. Considering the official league page doesn't have many of the reported deals (as they probably aren't finalized yet) I think this one's done. Granted, it doesn't say what year, but at the same time I'm pretty sure the transactions page notes future years if I remember correctly.

Sage Rosenfels (QB) traded (for a 4th round draft pick).

Rosencopter humor never seems to get old for me.

If Scaub gets hurt yet again this year, the loss of Sage may become a lot less amusing!
