Judd Zulgad, of the Star Tribune, reports Minnesota Vikings head coach Brad Childress did not express concern during a local radio interview with how the potential addition of free-agent QB Brett Favre (Jets) would impact current QBs Sage Rosenfels and Tarvaris Jackson.

"I'm charged with adding and subtracting players from this team to make us better. Every day when I walk in this office there's not a day that I don't try to look and see if we can get better at some position. And if this is going to make us better down the road and it's got a chance to happen I'm going to take care of the Minnesota Vikings."

Nothing says that it's 24 hours a day like it is in Congress when the government shuts down or the state shuts down. It's negotiations."

Remember, they have our receivers coach there now. So they thought they could hold ... and he'd come to them. They were down there working him out the day after I was there. And (Harvin) wasn't supposed to tell anybody, and I was trying to pull that out of him, who that was. So, it was a little cat-and-mouse game that occurred."
