The Vikings have released 37-year old QB Gus Frerotte.  They had no need for him after trading for Sage Rosenfels recently.  Frerotte played in 11 games for the Vikings last season and he completed 178 of 301 passes (59.1%) for 2,157 yards with 12 TD passes and 15 interceptions (73.7 QB Rating).  He also carried the football 19 times for 7 yards (0.4 ypc) with 1 TD run.  Frerotte might be slowing down but Rosenfels cost the Vikings a draft pick that would have been better spent in April.

The Vikings have acquired 30-year old QB Sage Rosenfels from the Texans for a 4th round pick in 2009.  Rosenfels played in 6 games for the Texans last season and he completed 116 of 174 passes (66.7%) for 1,431 yards with 6 TD passes and 10 interceptions (79.5 QB Rating).  He also carried the football 11 times for 37 yards (3.4 ypc) last season.  Rosenfels has now played in 32 games in his NFL career in which he has completed 351 of 562 passes (62.5%) for 4,156 yards with 30 TD passes and 29 interceptions (81.2 QB Rating).  He has also carried the ball 45 times for 98 yards (2.2 ypc) with 1 TD run in his career to date.  I don’t like this move for the Vikings as Rosenfels is no better than Gus Frerotte.  They should have just signed someone like Jeff Garcia who would have been a nice fit for their offense.
