EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) - The Minnesota Vikings have released wide receiver Bobby Wade, who led the team in receptions the past two years, and replaced him with free agent Greg Lewis.

Reached by phone Thursday, Wade declined to immediately comment.

With first-round draft pick Percy Harvin joining the team, the Vikings had fewer opportunities for Wade, a six-year NFL veteran.

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, after recording 647 yards and three scores the year before.

Lewis was let go by New England this week. He was with the Philadelphia Eagles during Childress's last three seasons there as offensive coordinator and traded to the Patriots in March for two low-round draft picks.

Race Bannon with a brown mustache. No one notices...

Anyway, an actual WR? Who actually might adjust to a ball? I just don't see why not...

I am, however, worried about the backup RB spot - we can't find someone's castoffs to put in that position??

1. That backup RB is a concern and I guess Rhodes might have some issues that got him cut from Buffalo who needs some backs for the first 4 weeks.

2. "IF" Wade had a drew rosenberg like agent, this shit doesn't happen because while it is allowed, it's not right and no GM would do that shit to a big time agent. Go ask the guy to take a salary cut, then waive him.

3. Makes me dislike Minn even more.

You better have some amazing statistical analysis to back that up because eye balling his production leads me to believe otherwise.

Production in the traditional sense doesn't mean anything from the FB position- think of it as another guard.

Thanks for enlightening me.

When I see Mc Kie, I see a bad blocker, a very poor short yardage runner and a limited pass catcher.

Bears should sign Wade. Have Cutler throw a rocket off his head and Urlacher level him. They both stand over him and yell 'Who is the pussy now!?!?' then they cut him.
