McNabb wants to resign with the Iggles ... on the condition that they make a serious play to upgrade the OL and WR positions. This could mean they make a serious run at TJ or consider trading for a guy like Gonzolez at TE.

Minnesota looking to trade for Texans backup QB Sage Rosenfels.

Frankly this move baffles me to no end. Sage is absolutely not better than Ferrote. I just dont understand what this team is trying to do at QB. They absolutely wont be a serious contender until they get some actual talent/stability back there. HINT: Tarvaris Jackson isnt gonna cut it.

And Harrison seems about to get cut.

It wouldnt shock me, they need to do something ...
They are, IMO, a QB away from being real contenders. But they are in a weird position for that. I think they should try and finagle Matt Cassell for their second. Maybe a 2 and 4 or something like that. Im not a big Cassell fan, I think he was a product of a system, but he still impresses me way more than Jackson/Gus/Sage, and Childress wont have to risk a rook or use his first rounder on a QB.
Then again, Childress is a horrible coach anyway, so whatever :up:

Falcons letting Milloy go. Not a great move but understandable. Hes old, but could have filled a hole decently for another year.

Raiders unloading dead weight left and right. I think someone is pretending to be Death and telling Al he will take him away if he doesnt follow the following list *Death hands Al the list* :wink2:

Vikes looking to resign Birk and Lions parting ways with Orlovsky (meaning Daunte and Drew Stanton).

Texans will trade Rosenfels to Vikings
The Houston Texans nearly traded quarterback Sage Rosenfels to the Minnesota Vikings last year. It appears the deal will get done later this week according to the Houston Chronicle. The Texans will receive a fourth-round draft choice in return.

I don't know how they sign people to this big contracts year after year.

If they sign him for that, Jason Taylor can pack his bags I guess

The Bucs are gonna pony up for him as well, they have a HUGE amount of cap space. He will almost certainly be playing for one of those 2 teams this season.
