Vikings sign Kendall Wright, loading up the receiver corps led by Adam Thielen, Stefon Diggs

The Vikings added another wide receiver to their roster on Friday, signing former Bears wideout Kendall Wright after his free agent visit began on Thursday.

Wright figures to join the team as a slot receiver who can pair with Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs in the Vikings' top three-receiver set. He caught 59 passes a year ago with the Bears, playing mostly in the slot, and had his best season in 2013 with the Titans, when he caught 94 passes for 1,079 yards.

The 28-year-old receiver had visited the Chiefs last week, before making a trip to Minnesota to meet with the Vikings.
