The writing was on the wall for Greg Jennings when the Vikings traded for Mike Wallace last night.

Today, they put it on paper.

The Vikings announced they cut the former Packers wide receiver, their last effort at finding a big-money big-play receiver.

Jennings was due $8.9 million this year, and would have counted $11 million against the cap.

The 31-year-old Jennings had good-not-great numbers for the Vikings, after signing a five-year, $45 million contract in March 2013. He caught 59 passes for 742 yards and six touchdowns, solid numbers, but hardly in line with his numbers on the payroll ledger.
