Breaking News - MIN Trades For WR Greg Camarillo

Finally some good news out of Minnesota. The Vikings have traded for Miami WR Greg Camarillo.

Clipped from the Judd Zulgad article:

The Vikings have acquired wide receiver Greg Camarillo from the Miami Dolphins, according to multiple reports.

The move comes a day after the team signed veteran free agent Javon Walker and two days after Sidney Rice underwent surgery to repair a hip injury. Rice is expected to be out for at least half the season, if not more.

I love this trade. Camarillo is the classic overachiever. He doesn't have the physicals to wow anyone. But he gets things done. He's caught 105 passes over the last two seasons with not exactly Peyton Manning throwing passes. He strikes me as a guy that could fit into a Brett Favre WR rotation. Especially given the opportunity that Sidney Rice's injury will open up. Let's see how this shakes out but at the very least, Camarillo's value just went up getting out of a crowded Miami WR group. It's an uptick for Brett Favre as well to add a capable receiver.
