CLEVELAND -- Former Vikings receiver Bobby Wade said he isn't yet ready to talk about his release from the team last week, but his silence is not expected to last much longer.

Wade's agent, Jerome Stanley, said in an e-mail today that he has "had conversations with a number of teams," about the receiver. "Bobby is well regarded around the league," Stanley said. "Hopefully after teams play a game, we will be able to move forward."

Wade already has been mentioned in connection with one of his former teams, the Tennessee Titans, and there also has been speculation that the Kansas City Chiefs might show interest.

Although he is no longer on the roster, Wade will still get a "game check" of roughly $88,200 for the Vikings' game Sunday in Cleveland.

Wade did not catch on with another team this week because vested veterans get their full salary if they are on the season-opening roster. Teams can pay them on a week-by-week basis if they are signed starting Monday. That means Wade likely will have a job early next week. When that happens, we should hear from Wade and perhaps get some insight into what happened with the Vikings.
