Overview
- Multiple outlets report the 27-year-old former Bears cornerback agreed to a one-year contract with New York worth up to $5.5 million.
- Wright earned a 2025 Pro Bowl nod after starting 16 games for Chicago with five interceptions, 11 pass breakups and 80 tackles.
- New York, which failed to record an interception last season, is reshaping its defense with recent additions including Minkah Fitzpatrick, Demario Davis, Joseph Ossai, Kingsley Enagbare, David Onyemata and Dane Belton.
- He is expected to compete for a starting outside role opposite Brandon Stephens, with second-year corner Azareye’h Thomas also in the mix.
- The short-term deal is viewed as a low-risk move after projections had Wright in line for a richer multi-year market, though some evaluations noted touchdowns allowed as a concern.
