From Tim Cavanagh - ESPN INsider
Following Brett Favre's official un-retirement last week, we wondered whether this would lead to No. 3 QB Sage Rosenfels being shopped in a trade by theMinnesota Vikings. Our speculation was based on the idea that the Vikes might as well see if someone will offer something for Rosenfels, since he's unlikely to ever see the field in a meaningful game this season.
But there's another link to a Rosenfels trade percolating as well. Mike Florio ofPro Football Talk connected some dots on Sunday, writing that there are some who think the unnamed player who told Jason Cole of Yahoo! Sports that "Brett thinks [head coach Brad] Childress has no clue about offense," is Rosenfels. This dovetails with the report from ESPN's Ed Werder regarding meetings that Favre had to address teammates after his return. In the second meeting -- which took place after the Cole article was published -- Favre told his teammates that certain matters need to be kept within the team.
The end result? Rosenfels, by pushing the "schism" angle out there, could indirectly earn himself a ticket out of Minnesota. If the scenario plays out in this fashion, Rosenfels will have a bit of explaining to do to his new teammates, assuring them somehow that their locker room issues won't become fodder for future reports.
