The Vikings suddenly have the deepest group of receivers in the NFC North

I very much doubt this as well.

Bernard Berrian is such an overrated receiver. He's a burner, but has been very mediocre statistically. Wade and Rice are 3s on most teams. They could start on a team like the 49ers, but they're really not that great.

Now, for Harvin... he's an exceptional athlethe. They have a very special kid here if he can keep his head straigth and focus on football instead of... extracurricular activities. Still, he's a 1st year guy and normally they don't tend to produce a whole lot. I'm just hoping he won't.

The Minnesota Vikings have released veteran wide receiver Bobby Wade, the team's leading receiver the last two years, according to his agent, Jerome Stanley.

"You're defined by your behavior and what you do and not what you say," Stanley said. "I'll let you connect the dots."

Asked if he were referring to Vikings coach Brad Childress, Stanley said, "Wherever the decision came from. And we already know where it came from, so there it is."

Last week, Wade had agreed to cut his base salary in half to about $1.5 million.

The team is expected to fill his spot by reuniting Vikings coach Childress with former Philadelphia Eagles receiver Greg Lewis, according to a person close to the situation. Lewis, 29, is at Winter Park today and expected to practice.

Undrafted in 2003 out of Illinois, Lewis endeared himself to Childress, then the Eagles' offensive coordinator, as well as other players and coaches with his work ethic and professionalism.

In six NFL seasons, Lewis has 23 starts, but he has 127 catches for 1,699 yards with seven touchdowns. During the offseason, the Eagles traded him to the New England Patriots for a seventh-round pick. But Lewis was one of the Patriots' last cuts, released to make room for rookie defensive back Bret Lockett.
