Source: Vikings sign Wright to help WR corps

The Minnesota Vikings have signed free-agent wide receiver Kendall Wright, a source told ESPN's Courtney Cronin on Saturday.

Wright, 28, was the only Chicago Bears receiver to crack the 50-catch barrier (59) in 2017. He slowly emerged as quarterback Mitchell Trubisky's preferred target as the season wore on, and he had a season-high 10 receptions for 107 yards in a Week 14 victory at Cincinnati.

The 2012 first-round pick spent five seasons with the Tennessee Titans before signing a one-year deal with the Bears last spring. Wright's best season came in 2013, when he caught 94 passes for 1,079 yards.
