Vikings Sign Star CFL Receiver

[Elite]

The B.C. Lions have lost one of their best receivers to the National Football League.

Emmanuel Arceneaux has agreed to terms on a three-year deal with the Minnesota Vikings, Vancouver radio station CKWX is reporting Saturday.

The deal is reportedly worth $1.8 million and includes a $75,000 signing bonus.

The B.C. Lions offered Arceneaux a six-figure contract, believed to be around $120,000.

Arceneaux worked out for eight teams over the last two weeks and the decision came down to the Miami Dolphins, Minnesota Vikings, Seattle Seahawks and Chicago Bears.

Last season with the Lions, Arceneaux caught 67 passes for five touchdowns and 1,114 yards.

Worth a shot I suppose. Low-risk/high reward type thing.

Interesting to see if he translates his success to the NFL.
If he does, they surely got a steal.

I don't see him working out.

I like this move a lot. We need depth at the position...especially considering how we've scrubbed it out with guys like Baskett and Greg Lewis on the d-chart.

LOLOL
Emmanuel sucks balls. He drops EVERYTHING. Wow, I have no clue what the Vikes see in this scrub.

We need depth. If he doesn't work out he is just a person to have at the number 5 slot.

Still. Their scout or whatever is an idiot. There are literally about 15 better WR's in the CFL alone than this fool.
