Earlier today the Minnesota Viking's signed former Packer wide receiver Robert Ferguson to the already existing, very inexperienced bunch of young receivers the Viking's had previously named.
Before Ferguson signed, the Viking receiver with the best numbers had been Bobby Wade with 101 catches and just two touchdowns in his career.
Ferguson was released by the Packers on Friday the 17th of August. He worked out for the Viking's on Sunday, flew to Houston on Monday, and returned to Minnesota today to sign a one year deal, with possible incentives of up to $1.5 million.
This move is a good move for the Viking's. Any added experience they can get a hold of is a good thing. Our WR list is now looking like this;
1. Ferguson
2. Williamson
3. Wade
4. Rice
5. McMullen
Because Tarvaris Jackson hasn't really had a chance to prove himself this preseason, except him to get quite a few opportunities to throw the ball down the field. Now we can just hope that he isn't going to bomb out this first year...

Bevell To Be Head Playcaller in '07-'08?
http://www.startribune.com/vikings/story/1360957.html
After receiving his due of play-calling criticism last year, Childress finally turned over the job of calling plays to the one who should have been doing it all along; Darrell Bevel, the offensive coordinator.
The way it worked was Bevell was in the coaches booth. He called the plays down to the quarterbacks coach Kevin Rogers. Rogers then called the plays to the quarterback mike implanted in the quarterbacks helmets. It was said that Childress was wired into the connection, but didn't call the plays, only heard them.
The good news here is that the newly-found free time Childress has he now uses to talk with Leslie Frazier, the defensive coordinator. Childress would occasionally suggest blitzes when he thought the other quarterback was struggling.
The bad news is that Childress admits that he needs to work on what he does between plays. He said that he finds himself arguing with the referees more this year. That could be an issue this year.
