K.J. Wright signed a one-day contract to retire as a member of the Seattle Seahawks.

Fantasy Impact

K.J. Wright came into the league in 2011 as a fourth-round selection of the Seattle Seahawks, where he spent the first 10 seasons of his career. The Super Bowl XLVIII champion exits the NFL as one of the past decade's most respected linebackers, totaling 992 tackles, 68 tackles-for-loss, 54 pass defenses, 13.5 sacks, 11 forced fumbles, and six interceptions through his 11 year career.

According to Josina Anderson, free agent linebacker K.J. Wright is planning to sign a one-year deal with the Las Vegas Raiders.

Wright has spent each of his first 10 seasons with the Seattle Seahawks but the two sides couldn't come to an agreement on an extension in the offseason. As a result, he will now head to Las Vegas on a one-year deal. The 32-year old vet racked up 86 combined tackles and two sacks in 2020 and will now look to bolster a below-average Raiders defense who allowed the 10th-most points per game a season ago.

Free-agent LB K.J. Wright is visiting the Las Vegas Raiders today in the hopes of signing with the team, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.

K.J. Wright played for Raiders DC Gus Bradley in Seattle, so the connection makes sense. He understands the scheme and can help younger players along. This pairing makes sense for both sides.
