Vikings Trying To Get Some Sage... Again.

The Texans and Vikings are close to a trade that would send quarterback Sage Rosenfels to Minnesota, possibly for a fourth-round draft pick, the Houston Chronicle reported Monday.

This is the second consecutive year in which the Vikings have been interested in acquiring Rosenfels, to be their starting quarterback.

Rosenfels wanted to be traded to the Vikings last season in hopes of starting for a team that has Adrian Peterson and Chester Taylor at running back and has led the NFL in run defense for two straight years.

Last season, the Vikings reportedly offered a third-round draft choice, but the Texans wanted a second-round pick. Both teams denied an offer was made.

The Vikings currently have both Tavaris Jackson and Gus Frerotte on its roster, but both have struggled as the teams starter. If the trade is completed Minnesota will want to extend Rosenfels' contract.

*UPDATE* It was reported on NFL Networks Total Access that the trade is completed and will be announced at 12:01 AM Friday at the beginning of Free Agency.
