Update:
Ian Rapoport reports that free agent LB K.J. Wright left his visit with the Raiders without signing a contract. According to Rapoport, Wright has interest from a few teams right now, but plans to remain in contact with the Raiders.
According to Adam Schefter, the Raiders are hosting veteran LB K.J. Wright for a visit.
Wright is well-versed in new Raiders DC Gus Bradley‘s scheme from their time together with the Seahawks, so it would be a strong fit for Las Vegas.
Josina Anderson says there are no current plans to sign a contract on this visit, although that could change depending on negotiations.
The veteran has had a long wait in free agency despite showing last season he still had a fair amount of gas left in the tank.
Back in April, the Cowboys passed up on pursuing a deal for Wright despite his comments expressing interest in playing for Dallas. (NFLTR)
At the time, Mike Fisher of SI.com reported that Wright was looking for a two-year commitment from the Cowboys, while the organization was thinking more of a one-year deal.
Wright, 31, is a former fourth-round pick of the Seahawks back in 2011. He’s played out the final year of his four-year, $27 million contract that included $15,431,000 guaranteed and made a base salary of $7.2 million for the 2018 season.
Wright returned to the Seahawks on a two-year, $15 million deal in 2019. He made a base salary of $3.5 million last year.
In 2020, Wright appeared in all 16 games for the Seahawks and recorded 86 tackles, two sacks, one forced fumble, two recoveries, one interception and 10 pass defenses.
