The Minnesota Vikings have made some moves this week at the quarterback position, releasing a veteran and bringing back a former player. After adhering to the suggestion of veteran QB Donovan McNabb and his request of being released, the Vikings reached out to former Minnesota Vikings backup Sage Rosenfels, signing him of f the waiver wire after being released by the Miami Dolphins.
