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.
