The Facts: The Vikings have waived Frerotte, who was their starting quarterback for 11 games last season. The move was expected after the addition of Sage Rosenfels.
Diehards Line:Frerotte replaced Tarvaris Jackson as the Vikings starter after the team got off to an 0-2 start last September. Frerotte went 8-3 as the starter but lost the job after he suffered a back injury late in the season. Still, Frerotte handled the release as you would expect a 15-year NFL veteran -- one who has played for seven different teams -- to react. With professional resignation. “There’s really nothing that is going to happen to me in the realm of the business side of the NFL that’s going to affect me,” Frerotte told Star-Tribune staffer Judd Zulgad.
