Obviously everything depends on the terms but I would love to have him back on the rights terms

I always liked him and never liked how we released him.

No problem with taking him back but I hope we draft two very good WRs this year.

Absolutely.

He's solid. A pro. Can play in the slot.

I loved him when he was here and thought he could have been utilized more. Always seemed to be making big catches for us.

I would love to have him back. I was seriously bummed when we let him go. They guy reliable, and I remembering him making many good plays for us.
I was always especially impressed with his hustle, but most importantly his winningest and effectiveness at down field blocking.
I would welcome him back in a heartbeat

Yeah, I did not understand why Vikings let him go, Jarius is a reliable receiver like you said

I wouldn’t mind him back but doesn’t Thielen operate mostly out of the slot? Which would make Wright a little less valuable? Wright is strictly a slot WR. Thielen moves around but I think the majority of his snaps are from the slot.

AT is our unquestioned WR1 at this point. He operates all over the field, including the slot but also out wide. He’s very capable. Also, Wright is far from a guarantee to start.

Yeah I just think it’s mostly out of the slot. Wright would turn into a #4/5 is my guess

Wright would be a bargain. It would be a 1 year deal I imagine. Supposedly wright wasn’t interested, probably still bitter we cut him?

If that's true it's a shame.

Why would he be bitter? It is a business

I have no idea. But supposedly there is a “low chance” of a deal happening
