The Vikings have yet to put out a press release but ESPN is reporting the Sage Rosenfels trade is official and became so when the quarterback agreed to a two-year contract extension. The extension is for two years and $9 million; Rosenfels had a year left on his deal with the Texans that would have paid him $1.35 million. An earlier report had said Rosenfels would sign a three-year, $9 million extension.

We’re waiting to see if the Vikings will hold a news conference to introduce Rosenfels at some point today. The Vikings will send a fourth-round pick to Houston.

Meanwhile, it appears Albert Haynesworth is the big winner in free agency. The defensive tackle has agreed to a reported $100 million, seven-year deal that could end up maxing out at $115 million based on his performance, according to an ESPN report. The key is that $41 million of that is guaranteed.  

We will continue to monitor the free agency situation so keep us in your rotation of websites as you go about your day.
