Doug Gabriel is a...

Raider again.

For all you Viking fans fantasizing about him, the Raiders, using their 2-11 record, claimed Gabriel off waivers.
The Tennessee Titans also put in a claim for Gabriel, but the Raiders got him because of their inferior record.

This is a strange reunion for Gabriel, who was traded by the Raiders earlier this season to the New England Patriots for a fifth-round draft pick. Gabriel played solid early on. But he has just one catch for 12 yards in the last four games.

It is not clear why the Patriots dumped Gabriel.
