The Minnesota Vikings are looking to acquire quarterback Sage Rosenfels from the Houston Texans, according to the Star Tribune. The team would love to make him the the backup behind Tarvaris Jackson. They list adding Rosenfels to their roster as priorities even with that of signing wide receiver Bernard Berrian and safety Madieu Williams.

Jerry Jones has ruled out making a trade that would put the Cowboys in position to select running back Darren McFadden in next month's NFL Draft, according to the San Antonio Express-News. "I have no intent at all of moving into the top five," Jones said on Friday. "A team can get crippled, and I mean seriously crippled from a financial standpoint by being up there in the top five or six," Jones said. "It's a real negative." "Nobody wants in there, and the teams in there, they want out. This is a very tough draft anyway when it comes to evaluating the talent and then trying to match up that with the millions it takes to operate at the top of the draft," Jones added. Jones, however, hasn't ruled out making a play for McFadden if he happens to fall out of the top five.

In addition to the offer of a 7th round pick for Pacman Jones, the Cowboys have also included a current player from their roster, a source has told SI.com. Jones has two years remaining on his original five-year, $30 million deal, and the Cowboys want to redo that contract, likely to a one-year deal to protect their interests.

The New England Patriots are not interested in cornerback Pacman Jones, according to sources close to the Boston Globe. Pacman's agent said last week that the former Titan was interested in joining the Patriots, and some took that as mutual interest. League sources indicate that this is not true.

The Chiefs don't appear to have veteran quarterback Damon Huard in their short-term plans, according to the Kansas City Star. Herm Edwards is looking to take a quarterback in next month's draft; it just depends on what round. Edwards claims that he doesn't have a problem using Brodie Croyle, Tyler Thigpen, or a rookie at quarterback next season. If that is the case, Huard is the odd man out in Kansas City.

The price might be too high for the Cowboys to trade up in next month's draft to grab Arkansas running back Darren McFadden, according to The NFL Network. Is seems as though the pair of first round picks that Dallas has aren't enough to move into the top five. They might have to throw in their second-rounder, in addition to the two first-rounders, in order to land in the top five. Even then, there is no guarantee McFadden will be there when it's time for their selection.

Chad Johnson skipped the start of Bengals' practices on Monday and maintains that he would like a trade, according to the Associated Press. He said in several interviews last week that he would skip the opening workouts to reinforce his point. "Im not going to get too involved in it," QB Carson Palmer said. "I know the guys that are here are working their butts off and working for a spot." "I'm not worried. We've got a good group of guys -- some mature guys, some veteran guys -- that wont let any off-the-field distractions get in the way of what needs to be done, all of the work thats going on right now," he added.

Bill Parcells appears willing to trade to Miami's first overall pick in next month's NFL Draft, according to the New York Daily News. "I'm not sure anybody is interested in the pick," Parcells said. "The economics of the pick are a little more devastating if it doesn't work out. You have to have some willing partners of the trade-down thing. We're in position where we are assuming we are going to make the pick."

According to a source, the Cowboys and Titans are having trade talks surrounding Pacman Jones. Manubir Arora, Jones' agent, says the Patriots and Lions are also interested in his client. Asked Jones' preference of a future team, Arora said, "Every kid grows up wanting to play for the Dallas Cowboys." "We want to go to an established team with good infrastructure and leadership," Arora told Werder. "Both the Cowboys and Patriots have veteran coaches who have been through these kinds of things before, good player liaisons and mentoring, and if you have those things and a winning program, then I think all these problems go away. "All of Adam's issues have been offseason issues, not team issues."

Anquan Boldin is aware of the trade rumors involving his name and the new contract teammate Larry Fitzgerald received, but he plans to let his agent handle the discussions, according to the Arizona Republic. When asked if he would get involved in the negotiations, Boldin said: "I leave that up to my agent (Drew Rosenhaus). They'll go back and forth. He'll keep me in the loop for the most part, but I can't be worried about that. I think when players get involved in that, that starts to affect their play on the field."
