Giants trade for Sage Rosenfels

Football Betting Lines

09/04/2010 - East Rutherford, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New York Giants have found a backup quarterback after acquiring Sage Rosenfels from the Minnesota Vikings on Friday.

The trade also saw running back and return specialist Darius Reynaud heading to New York in exchange for an undisclosed draft pick in 2011 and a conditional pick in 2012. The deal is pending passed physicals from both players.

New York had been in the market for a qualified backup to Eli Manning since Jim Sorgi was put on injured reserve earlier this week with a shoulder injury. Sorgi was signed in March after six seasons backing up Manning's brother Peyton in Indianapolis. That left second-year pro Rhett Bomar the most experienced QB behind Manning.

In Rosenfels, the Giants get a nine-year veteran with 32 games of experience and 12 NFL starts to his credit. The 32-year-old's most prolific year came in 2007 while filling in for an injured Matt Schaub in Houston. Rosenfels appeared in nine games and started five, completing 64.2 percent of his passes for 1,684 yards and 15 touchdowns, with 12 interceptions.

In 2008, Rosenfels again filled in for an injured Schaub and saw time in six games with five starts. He ended up connecting at a 66.7-percent clip for 1,431 yards and six TDs to go with 10 picks.

The Iowa State product served as the third-string quarterback in Minnesota last year behind Brett Favre and Tarvaris Jackson.

Reynaud is expected to help fill the void left by wide receiver and punt returner Domenik Hixon, who tore the ACL in his right knee during practice back in June and is expected to miss the entire season.

The 25-year-old is a third-year pro out of West Virginia that converted from wide receiver. He was fourth in the NFC last season with a 10.3-yard average on 30 punt returns. He added 90 yards on four kickoff returns.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP

With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.

There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
