Wright presents an intriguing option considering the Pats' lack of depth at the receiver position. The six-year veteran played five seasons with the Titans before moving on to play with the Bears in 2017 and racking up 59 catches for 614 yards and a touchdown.

The 28-year-old was cut by the Vikings over the weekend.
