Greg Lewis' catch that will forever be etched in Philly fans' minds.


Greg Lewis is headed to his third team in his career, and his second this offseason. After being cut by the New England Patriots, he has joined the Minnesota Vikings.

New England had traded for Lewis, but apparently they were not happy with their acquisition and decided to cut the career backup. Minnesota, on the other hand, was apparently not happy with Bobby Wade (who was the team's leading receiver the past two seasons) and recently cut him.

Brad Childress has made a habit of at least looking at former Eagles players, and now he's brought one in. Childress was the offensive coordinator for the Eagles while Greg Lewis was there, so G-Lew comes in already having a rapport with the head coach.

G-Lew probably won't be anything more than the fourth or fifth receiver, but he has flashed some ability during his time with the Eagles and will contribute to the Vikings, even if that contribution is minimal.

He wasn't a great receiver, but G-Lew will never be forgotten in Philly because of his touchdown reception in Super Bowl 39. His legacy is like FredEx without the stupid press conferences.
