Rebuilding the receiving corps continues.
The Vikings are in need of a possession wide out after the release of sure-handed Michael Jenkins.
Minnesota is one of a handful of teams interested in free agent receiver Danny Amendola, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com.
Amendola, 27, is regarded as a possession receiver, often compared to Patriots receiver Wes Welker. He also has experience as a kick and punt returner, a role the team is looking to fill—or at least add competition—this offseason.
Last season Amendola caught 63 passes for 666 yards for the Rams.
