Then draft a receiver in the first round. Pick up Jennings as a free agent, and then use Wright in the slot.

What say you Vikes fans: would you be happier with a high pick or two used on wide-outs or signing a top tier free agent wide-out this off season?

I think for Ponder to continue to develop he’s going to need more consistent receivers. If I were Spielman, I’d try my damnedest to sign Welker, trade the malcontent Percy for a 2 and use one of their higher picks on a top shelf wr prospect.

I know you won’t get great value back by trading Percy… But if hes not buying into the system or team play, you would rather have players that believe in what your coaches are preaching and wants to be there.

It is not surprising that the vikings talent evaluators missed again on this player.

That Minnesota team should have cleared out their front office and scouts years ago.

Don’t be surprised if the replacement player is more expensive and has less production.

Be grateful Mr. Jenkins that your agent found a team dumb enough to sign that contract.

I don’t care if we have to use half our draft picks this year on receivers. If we can find a starting receiver its worth it.

Jenkins is a good guy, and always seemed to have his best games against the Packers- which was good- but nevertheless isn’t worth that kind of money.

Wouldn’t shed a tear if the Vikings let Aromashadu and Burton go too. Harvin and Wright are the only two keepers at WR for the Vikings.

Great addition to the Vikes. Ask San Diego how that worked out.

He couldn’t separate anymore and was over the hill, but was a good teammate that provided veteran leadership.

He also readjusted his contract last year to stay on the team.

Really hope we make a WR move now, thinnest I’ve seen the Vikings at WR in awhile.

Maybe now he can continue his career with an adequate QB.

Also, if Percy is going to say he is sitting out then let’s say good bye to a great return guy and play maker and get a decent draft pick.

Jenkins was a good blocker and a decent possession reciever, but really he shouldn’t be that difficult to replace with a younger, cheaper version of a reciever just like him. I wouldn’t even be opposed to bringing him back at the right price, but that’s not guaranteeing he’d be good enough to make the team. He has lost a step and is expendable, especially for that kind of money.
