Minnesota Vikings release WR Jarius Wright

Warren mentioned this briefly earlier in his look at the roster moves the Minnesota Vikings are making, but I thought it warranted its own mention.

Following the signings of quarterback Kirk Cousins and defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson, the Vikings decided they needed to make a move to give themselves some flexibility under the cap, and they’ve done that by releasing a player that, quite frankly, I wasn’t sure they’d cut.

The team has parted ways with wide receiver Jarius Wright, who had played six seasons with the Vikings.
