The wide receivers are falling into place. Greg Jennings has signed with the Vikings.
Earlier, Danny Amendola signed with New England, Wes Welker with Denver and Mike Wallace with the Vikings.
Wallace will get paid a lot more than those guys. It's his speed that makes the difference. He's a guy, as they like to say, can take the top off a defense. He'll not only make big downfield catches, but he'll create room for Brian Hartline and Davone Bess to work underneath.
Look at the numbers from the last three years. Wallace has 21 catches of 40-plus yards. That's 3 more than Megatron, and over twice as many as all but nine other receivers.
