Chicago sign wide receiver Kendall Wright


The Chicago Bears have signed former Tennessee wide receiver Kendall Wright to a one-year deal.

The move will be worth $4m to Wright and he will take the place of Alshon Jeffrey, who left last week for Philadelphia. 

He will get the chance to start afresh and prove himself with a short-term contract as he enters his sixth year in the league.

He enjoyed a breakout season in 2013 but saw his role diminish over the past couple of campaigns with the Titans and joins new arrivals in fellow wide receiver Markus Wheaton and quarterback Mike Glennon.

Wheaton penned a two-year $11m deal which guarantees him $5m while Glennon - brought in to replace Jay Cutler - has signed a three-year, $45m agreement.
