Vikings And Raiders Reportedly Discussing A Trade For QB Sage Rosenfels

The Raiders are in on the Donovan McNabb sweepstakes, according to various reports. But if that doesn't go down, then Sage Rosenfels could be an option for the silver and black, according to Michael Lombardi of the National Football Post.

A team executive told me the Raiders and Vikings are discussing the availability of backup quarterback Sage Rosenfels. Trading Rosenfels would only happen if the Vikings know for certain that Brett Favre is coming back.

Waiting on Favre to make a decision? That's a long wait.

It's becoming clear the Raiders don't want to go into the season with a competition between JaMarcus Russell and Bruce Gradkowski -- and for good reason. Neither are long-term solutions at the position.

Rosenfels has put up some good numbers in the past but he's always had an interception problem. If they go after Rosenfels, then consider Russell's future as a Raider pretty much non-existent.
