FULFILLING A NEED
While I'm not overly excited about this signing for my Vikes, it is nice to see that we are fulfilling a need since we only have 2 Wide Receivers on the active roster at this time. Troy Williamson & Billy McMullen do nothing to instill fear in the opposing defenses. Wade has alot of potential & maybe under Childress's watch he can realize that potential? Childress acknowledged that Wade is not the answer to the Vikes offensive woes but he looks forward to using Bobby Wades ability out of the slot & his kick return abilities.
The one thing I do like is Rick Spielmans philosophy of going after players who are 26 years of age & under, coming out of their first 3 year contract. One, you build a strong youth movement & two, it is an economically sound way to approach Free Agency.
Vikings sign wide receiver Wade
The Minnesota Vikings signed wide receiver Bobby Wade Tuesday night with the pool of free agents at that position dwindling. Wade, who caught 33 passes for 461 yards and two touchdowns last season for Tennessee, spent the first three years with Chicago. The Bears cut him near the end of 2005 because of fumbling problems on special teams, and the Titans claimed him off waivers.
