The Facts: "Absolutely not." That's what HC Gary Kubiak said this morning when asked if his team is looking to trade Rosenfels -- to the Vikings or anyone else. Kubiak deferred some questions to GM Rick Smith but made clear that starter Matt Schaub’s health -- he is recovering from shoulder surgery — makes it difficult to trade Rosenfels. "He's important to our football team," Kubiak said. "Our starter right now physically has a problem, coming off shoulder surgery, so Sage is very important to our football team."

Diehards Line:The Vikings will probably make another run at Rosenfels before the April 26-27 draft, but a deal doesn’t seem too likely at this point. The Vikings remain heavily interested in Rosenfels, having offered a third-round draft pick for him, but it’s not certain that Houston will trade him at any price.
