Vikings don't consider Simpson a starter
Jerome Simpson - WR - Minnesota Vikings
Feb. 24, 2013 - 3:45 PM ET

The Vikings may re-sign free agent Jerome Simpson, but are not expected to use him as a 2013 starter.

Simpson was a complete flop as Minnesota's 2012 split end receiver and is better suited as a No. 3 or No. 4 wideout, coming off the bench. Regardless of Percy Harvin's whereabouts, Minnesota will make upgrading out wide a priority in free agency and/or the draft. Dwayne Bowe should rank high on their wish list.
