Bobby Wade Released, Greg Lewis Added

The Vikings released WR Bobby Wade today, just a week or so after he offered to restructure his contract for this season, cutting his salary from 3M to 1.5. After the release they added WR Greg Lewis......yep, you guessed it, another former Eagle (and Pat of late).

I don't understand this move at all. Wade was a class act on and off the field. He was a solid leader on offense and led the team in receptions the past two years. I realize that Harvin is going to be the slot guy, but surely there was room for Wade (as they picked up Lewis), a guy Harvin could learn from and perhaps look up to.

The Vikings have made some awesome moves the past two years, but this one is asinine.
