The Minnesota Vikings have acquired Miami Dolphins wide receiver Greg Camarillo in a trade that might also include a cornerback headed to South Florida, multiple sources confirmed Wednesday.

<!-- end inline 1 --> Camarillo was acquired to fill the receiving void created by Sidney Rice's hip surgery that will sideline him until midseason and the migraine problem affecting Percy Harvin.
Though the Vikings compensation was not immediately known, cornerback Benny Sapp could be a candidate for the trade. Sapp wasn't present as the Vikings hit the practice field Wednesday morning.
The 28-year-old Camarillo caught 105 passes over the past two seasons for the Dolphins. He works effectively out of the slot.

Well he needs a WR aside from Berrian to throw the ball to, so I would say he's involved a little and More like Childress needing the players since Rice is out for half the season and Harvin is still questionable for the longterm.

Sorry if I'm late on this one, but does this pretty much nix Javon Walker going to the Vikings or is that still happening?

He signed and went to practice yesterday.

Greg Camarillo?

Print those playoff tickets. Now.

Hopefully for Camarillo's sake Favre can do for his career what he did for Rice's.

Good pickup imo.

This trade fucking sucks. Camarillo is money. No complaining, sure handed, great 3rd down receiver. Hartline has taken that role so I guess they see him as expendable, but for Benny Sapp??? Benny Sapp fucking sucks, and this leads me to believe Will Allen may be going back on IR because he has reinjured his knee.

I think it's an equal trade. A slot receiver for a nickel cornerback.

Let's be real here, Camarillo >>>>>>>> Sapp. Great trade for the Vikings, whether he plays 2 games or 16. Sapp is shit.

 

[Aso]

Why does everyone think Camarillo is great all of a sudden? He's a decent slot/possession sort of guy and will help the Vikings out. Once Rice comes back his role will be minimal as their 4th WR and then in 2011 he'll have 1 year left and maybe will be traded again, who knows.

Sapp has been a nickelback in the NFL probably since he came into the league and has been a decent one for a while. With Allen's injury this move makes a whole lot of sense. Just like Camarillo when Allen gets back to 100% he'll probably be relegated as the Dolphins 4th corner. Also, I definitely wouldn't say Sapp is shit.

This trade is the definition of even.

Those are shaky, shaky WR's.

Berrian is what he is (nothing special), these migraines look like they could be a real problem for Harvin, Camarillo is nothing, and Walker is a washed up, aging vet with a recent history of injuries.

Probably won't matter, because Favre has a history making WR's look better than they are.

Please stop acting like you have a clue about what the fuck goes on with the Dolphins.

Camarillo's value to us is triple that of Benny Sapp. Mark this down as another bonehead Parcell's move, ya know, kinda like PAT WHITE IN THE 2ND ROUND! Who is going to be cut here shortly because he BLOWS.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

What was Camarillo's role going to be with Miami?

That's not a troll attempt, I honestly would like to know.

Yes, because while Camarillo is catching maybe one pass a game over the course of the season the Dolphins should suffer while they have no cornerback worth playing the nickel during Allen's injury. You don't have to know what's going on. It's called common sense.

I know Marshall and Hartline are starting, and Bess is in the slot. I also know Will Allen has an injury to the same place he had an ACL tear last year. Thats all I need to know.

 

[Primetime]

4th receiver behind Marshall, Bess, and Hartline I'm guessing?
