Vikings released WR Michael Jenkins. Jenkins was due an $825,000 base salary, but the Vikings made sure to release him before his $2.425 million roster bonus came due. Turning 31 in June, "Molasses Mike" has been an ineffective pass-catching receiver for quite some time. He could resurface elsewhere as a No. 4 wideout who plays on blocking downs.
