Raiders interested in Rosenfels?

The big headlines say that the Oakland Raiders are in hot pursuit of Philadelphia Eagles QB Donovan McNabb, but there was another story going around recently that says the Raiders could be interested in Minnesota Vikings backup Sage Rosenfels. Mike Lombardi of the National Football Post reports that the Vikes and Raiders “are discussing the availability” of the Minnesota third stringer.

This could be a plan B if the Raiders aren’t able to swing a deal for McNabb. With JaMarcus Russell reportedly weighing in at a svelt 290 lbs., the Raiders surely can’t want to throw another season in the toilet by relying on this lazy sack of wet monkey crap.

And if the Vikings did move Rosenfels, one would have to assume that they are 99% confident that Brett Favre will return. Otherwise that will leave Tarvaris Jackson as the only QB on their roster. If you think it’s bad to have Tarvaris as the starting QB on your team, it ain’t nothing compared to having him as the only option on the entire squad.

We’ll see what happens. It’s full-blown rumor time in the NFL as we head to the NFL draft so expect 88% of what we’re discussing to end up being not true.
