His best statistical season came in 2017 with the Chiefs, when he caught 42 passes for 554 yards and three touchdowns.

Wilson will likely compete for the No. 4 receiver spot behind Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen and K.J. Osborn.

The Vikings waived second-year running back A.J. Rose Jr. to free a roster spot for Wilson.
