Former Texans QB Sage Rosenfels Retires After 12 Seasons

The third-winningest quarterback in Houston Texans franchise history called it a career over the weekend, as Sage Rosenfels announced his retirement from the NFL on his Facebook page.

The 12-year veteran spent time with Washington, Miami, New York, and Minnesota, but we'll always remember him for his time in deep steel blue from 2006 to 2008. While a Texan, Rosenfels appeared in 19 games and started 10. In those games, Rosenfels threw for 3,380 yards with 24 touchdowns and 23 interceptions, going 6-4 as a starter. Most of his numbers, beyond the ever-important 'Just Winz,' are third in Texans' franchise history.

After going 4-1 in 2007, there was chatter that Rosenfels should be the full-time starter over Matt Schaub, but that chatter would go away after a game in 2008, which, for better or worse, will always pop into a Texans' fan head when they hear the sweet sounds of Sage's name.



While that play would be matched in absurd infamy by the Q-Tip, the sting is quite different. However, I'll suggest that we remember Sage for the good memories, like that three touchdown game against Tampa Bay.
