The Vikings have waived Rosenfels.||||||| Rosenfels signed a two-year, $3 million deal in March with the Vikings. Only $500,000 of that is guaranteed.

Backup quarterback Sage Rosenfels and the Minnesota Vikings have agreed in principle to a new, two-year contract. Rick Smith, the agent for Rosenfels, confirmed Monday that the deal was in place. It was first reported by FoxSports.com. Rosenfels was eligible for unrestricted free agency, which begins Tuesday.||||||| Rosenfels was acquired by the Vikings in 2009 from the Texans for a fourth-round draft pick, but he never saw the field behind Brett Favre and Tarvaris Jackson and was traded to the Giants the following year. Rosenfels joined the Dolphins last season and was waived in November before the Vikings claimed him. They wanted a veteran third-stringer to complement Christian Ponder and Joe Webb. Smith says Rosenfels was comfortable in Minnesota and with the team.

The Dolphins placed quarterback Sage Rosenfels on the reserve-non-football illness list Tuesday and signed J.P. Losman.||||||| A blood disorder sent Rosenfels to the hospital in August, and in a statement Tuesday, he said he hasn't fully recovered and needs more time to rest. Rosenfels joined the Dolphins on Oct. 6 after Chad Henne suffered a season-ending shoulder injury. The only other quarterback on Miami's roster is starter Matt Moore.

The Giants placed Rosenfels, last year's backup quarterback, on injured reserve.||||||| Rosenfels has not played for three weeks because of strep throat, an infection that also led to back problems.
