What is Sage's value?--Sage Frustrated

[Lucky]

That would be a nice deal for the Vikes. And a good career move for Sage. But is it the right deal for the Texans? They'd have to find a backup on the free agent market (Josh McCown?). Then hope Schaub can play the full schedule. It seems too risky for the 73rd pick in the draft.

Seems like we are really trying to get a 2nd round pick back...

[Honoring Earl 34]

How many years is Sage signed for ?

[bah007]

If a starter is worth two 2nd rounders, then a near-starter should be worth at least a 2nd rounder.

Get this trade done (for a 2nd rounder) & then pick up the super-athletic Josh Johnson from San Diego late in the draft.

I would back JJ

According to my logic, Rosenfels is as much of a starter this year as Schaub were last year. Unless Rosenfels is making alot of noice to make this deal go through, I would not trade him for less than what we gave for Schaub, 2 second-rounders.

Actually, we could actually trade Sage and re-sign Carr as a backup.

This league requires two quarterbacks, or one quarterback and a whole heck of a lot of luck. The Texans haven't had their share.

The Texans much earlier in the preseason denied a desire to shop Rosenfels.

We have enough messed up need positions on this team without creating another one.

I agree with this, we are deep at QB and WR, and TE is not bad. Let's not take that away, and rob Peter to pay Sage.

It would be very tempting for a second rounder though.

This was already mentioned ... oops .

I would like to keep Sage for the short term just because Schaub not exactly proven .

That's a disgusting joke with no humor in it whatsoever, regardless of context.

I would probably be sobbing on the floor if Carr ever took another snap for the Texans. Good thing I don't own a gun.

Diddo, Look what happened to Atlanta when Schaub was no longer there to "backup." For that matter, it seems that most of the cases of what happens when the starter goes down results is a downer rather than an upper. It is the exception that a "jewel" is found that will just "step in" without missing a step with the starter going down. We're fortunate to have this element of security. For those that think we can get someone in to replace Rosenfels with a player offering more "security" (especially this year) even with 2 second round picks, I'd have to say............look how many "experiments" this team has already bet on..............and lost....................One in the hand..................especially if that bird may be the better bird.

It's true:

Vikings | Team offers third-round pick for Rosenfels
Thu, 28 Feb 2008 16:00:09 -0800

Kevin Seifert, of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, reports the Minnesota Vikings offered the Houston Texans a third-round draft pick for QB Sage Rosenfels, who is under contract.

The Atlanta situation was caused by Vick's dog-fighting, not the departure of Schaub.

For a 2nd? Bye Sage. Thanks for your service.

Heck he's leaving next year anyways.

I heard Carr became available.

No way we give him up for just a 3rd. Hell we got rid of Drew Henson and drafted Dave Ragone* for 3rd rounders. Anyone that doesn't think Sage is worth more than that is crazy.

* Bad example as it does have Casserly's taint on it.
