It would appear that the Vikings might win a game of chicken with the Texans.Minnesota has been rumored to be interested in Texans quarterback David Carr, but the two teams had not gotten a deal worked out, as rumors had the Texans hoping to land an early second-day pick for their former starting quarterback.
If the Vikings are interested, they now should have a chance to land Carr as a free agent. The Texans know that by trading for Falcons quarterback Matt Schaub, any chance of getting a team to give up much of anything for Carr has gone out the window. They will likely cut the former No. 1 pick in the near future, and Adam Schefter with NFL.com is already talking about the Vikes as a likely landing place for Carr, who is still young enough to develop into a solid NFL starter, especially if his new team can keep him upright--he played behind some brutal offensive lines in Houston.
It's not that Carr isn't without flaws--Google's search box in Firefox suggests "David Carr sucks" if you start to search for his name. But he would give the Vikings a better chance to win in 2007 than Tavaris Jackson or Brooks Bollinger can, and he may come cheap, which sounds like a good combo.

this might work but still need stud wr and r-tackle on off and passrusher and stud lb and cb
Texans GM Rick Smith says in today's press conference that a trade is in the works. Either today or in the next couple of days.
My guess is the Raiders. Lane Kiffen knows him from Fresno State, Carr is from California, the Frenecks still love him, Raiders are all about second chances, oh, and it frees them up to take Calvin Johnson.
that would be a smart move by raiders good call stephanie
