EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- The Minnesota Vikings have released wide receiver Bobby Wade, who led the team in receptions the past two years.

Wade confirmed Thursday he has been let go, but declined comment.
With first-round draft pick Percy Harvin joining the team, the Vikings had fewer opportunities for Wade. He is starting his seventh year in the NFL.
Bernard Berrian and Sidney Rice are the other two receivers atop the depth chart heading into Sunday's opener at Cleveland. Berrian has been slowed by a hamstring injury.

Wade routinely drew praise from coach Brad Childress and he made his share of clutch catches over the middle. Wade had 53 receptions for 645 yards and two touchdowns last season.

I wonder if he can Get a Flight to New York....FAST ! :think2:

Well they threw away their 3rd down go to guy. Berrian prolly can fill that role but he's also hurt and wont play at least this week. The other 2 or big ?'s Harvin is like 5'2 and i dont see him being a go to guy, big play man maybe but not ur 3rd down over the middle man..And Rice avg'd about 1.5 catches a game last year...

I guess what they thinkin is they wont need a 3rd down guy cus Farve will throw the INT on 2nd down.....
