The Facts:
HC Brad Childress did not completely close the door on Tarvaris Jackson being his starter in 2009, leaving open the strong possibility of pursuing a QB through the draft or free agency. He didn't mention it, but a trade also is an option. "There's not anything we're going to leave unturned in terms of free agency [and the] draft," Childress said. "You see who's out there, and by the same token Tarvaris is going to be here and we're going to continue to get him better."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The coach didn't go into the possiblity of Gus Frerotte remaining with the club (Frerotte said earlier this week his interest in returning would hinge on the team's willingness to make him the starter). Childress said meetings on such matters would take place later this month and admitted that while he already has a list of free-agent quarterbacks on his desk, "To comment on that I'd be shooting in the air." Free agents include Kerry Collins, Jeff Garcia, Kurt Warner, J.P. Losman, Dan Orlovsky and Chris Simms.
