The Giants were linked to Matt Lienart, but acquired Rosenfels to back-up Eli Manning.
The Giants sent an undisclosed draft pick to the Vikings for Sage Rosenfels and RB Darius Reynaud according to the Minnesota Vikings website.
The Giants lost backup Jim Sorgi with a shoulder injury and he was placed on injured reserve, leaving untested Rhett Bomar as the only other quarterback.
Reynaud is a converted receiver who was trying to make the Vikings as a running back and return man. He was the team’s primary punt returner during the preseason.
