The Facts:
HC Leslie Frazier made it clear at the NFL owners meetings in late March that his intention was for Berrian to play a big role in 2011 and that the team had no intention of cutting the WR. Still, Berrian was fatalistic when asked about his confidence level in remaining with the Vikings. "Until I hear otherwise, I'm just really ready to get back to work," he said. "If we have to cut ties, then we have to cut ties."

We'll be following up on the Vikings' receiving corps in coming days. In addition to questions about Berrian's future, Sidney Rice is about to hit the free-agent market, where he's bound to draw considerable interest.
