MANKATO -- Could the Vikings be adding another wide receiver?

While an NFL source said the Vikings are not in the running for wide receiver Braylon Edwards, it appears they are still pursuing San Diego free agent receiver Malcom Floyd.

The 29-year-old Floyd, who is 6-5, 225 pounds, caught 37 passes for 717 yards and six touchdowns last season. He caught a career-high 45 receptions for 776 yards in 16 games last season.

The Vikings have 12 wide receivers on their roster at this point.
