Vikings Sign WR

by Christopher Gates on Mar 7, 2007 5:59 AM CST in News

Well, just a few hours after I detailed how bad the 2007 free agency class of wide receivers is, the Vikings decided to sign a free agent wide receiver.

Last night, the Purple signed WR Bobby Wade, late of the Tennessee Titans to a 5-year, $15 million deal. Only $4 million of that $15 million is guaranteed.

Wade's stats are pretty much identical to what Kevin Curtis. . .allegedly the best WR in this year's free agent class. . .put up in 2006. So if it comes down to Wade for $15 million ($4 million guaranteed) or Curtis at twice the price (and 2.5 times as much guaranteed). . .well, bring on Bobby Wade.

Do you like this story?

Trust me dude

I know from experience. Bobby Wade isn't anything but a heart ache. He will have one game of 10 catches for 2 TD and 150 yards, everybody will get excited and then you won't hear his name the rest of the year.

Or he'll come out opening came and run back a punt for a TD, then proceed to fumble the next 6. You want nothing to do with that guy.

You May Be Right

But, sadly, he's better than what we had last year.

We don't need him to return punts or anything. . .we've already got one of the better PR guys. He might return kicks, if Childress doesn't decide to put Moore on that duty, too.

The FA WR class is just so pathetic, though. Really, this is about the best we could do at this point.
