The Kansas City Chiefs got the top receiver in free agency in Sammy Watkins to give them a dynamic pairing with Tyreek Hill. They’re not done yet. The Chiefs are bringing in free agent receiver Kendall Wright, according to Adam Caplan.
After losing slot WR Albert Wilson in free agency to the #Dolphins, #Chiefs are having former #Bears WR Kendall Wright in for a visit today.

Wright was a star at Baylor before the Titans made him a first round pick in the 2012 draft. He’s had one 1,000-yard season in his career. He does fit the Brett Veach mold of a former high pick who hasn’t necessarily lived up to expectations but not the age part — Wright is 28 years old.
He led the Bears with 614 yards receiving last year so it’s about time the Chiefs start taking players from the Bears rather than the other way around (hi, Matt Nagy).
All these receivers makes me wonder the status of Chris Conley or even Demarcus Robinson. Are the Chiefs taking a look-see at Wright or are they serious about bringing him in for competition? He had a one-year, $4 million deal in Chicago last season so I doubt he’s going for the minimum. Interesting ...
