The Facts: The Texans and Minnesota are close to completing a trade that would send Rosenfels to the Vikings, possibly for a fourth-round draft choice. The Texans had no comment on the report.

Diehards Line:This is the second year in a row in which the Vikings have been interested in acquiring Rosenfels as their starting quarterback. Rosenfels, who won six games in the last two seasons when replacing the injured Matt Schaub, is approaching the last year of his contract. If the trade is completed, the Vikings will want to extend Rosenfels' contract. The Vikings have Tarvaris Jackson and Gus Frerotte on their roster.
