Man of Many Stops


When players retire, they often don't even get a mention on the sports page. QB Sage Rosenfels got one sentence. Yet, he was able to parlay his selection by the Washington Redskins in the 4th round of the 2001 draft into a career as a backup that lasted 11 seasons.

He is a great example of finding a niche as the guy ready to go if the starter gets hurt. His list of transactions makes you dizzy.

He lasted one season with the Redskins before spending 2002-2005 with the Dolphins. He found a home with the Texans from 2006-2008, the Vikings in 2009 and the Giants in 2010. He split time with the Giants and Dolphins in 2011 and made his last stop at Vikings training camp in 2012.

He had a total of 12 starts for his career and finished with 351/562 for 4,156 yards and 30 TD's. There is no spot waiting for him in Canton, but he certainly had a long career.
