MINNEAPOLIS -- Almost as much as they've shuttled through quarterback options since the end of Brett Favre's time in Minnesota, the Vikings have rifled through different options to add some explosiveness to the other side of their passing game.
Sidney Rice was the team's last 1,000-yard receiver, in 2009, and played only one more season in Minnesota after that. Since then, the Vikings have (in chronological order) built their passing game around Percy Harvin, gave Greg Jennings $18 million guaranteed, traded Harvin for a first-round pick, traded four picks to select Cordarrelle Patterson and spent another first-round pick on Laquon Treadwell.
