MINNESOTA VIKINGS: Ferguson headed to Minnesota?

Ex-Green Bay Packers' wide receiver Robert Ferguson may get a second chance with NFC North division rival, the Minnesota Vikings, according to several online reports. Even though the Vikings are host to over a dozen receivers on their training camp roster, the team might find a spot for the ex-Packer.
That's because, right now, Bobby Wade is the most experienced receiver on the Vikings roster. If he could stay healthy, Ferguson could easily make the Top Three receivers on the team, behind Sidney Rice and ahead of Troy Williamson.
The trouble is that caveat - if he stays healthy. Ferguson has been injured more often than not in his past four seasons with the Packers, which is primarily why Green Bay released him last week like a set of faux wood blinds.
If the Vikings offer him a tender, it would be for the veteran minimum and probably a one-year offer at best; he would need to battle with younger receivers to even make the team, and any contract would be certain to include an injury clause.
Still, should Ferguson return to form, he could be a nice weapon for the talent-depleted Vikings receiving corps.
