Vikings sign veteran receiver Albert Wilson to one-year deal

The Vikings' receiver competition this summer should be one to watch.

The team added a 12th target on Wednesday by signing veteran receiver Albert Wilson, who has scored 13 touchdowns (one rushing) over seven NFL seasons for the Chiefs and Dolphins. Wilson, who turns 30 in July, is coming to Minnesota on a one-year deal, according to his agent Drew Rosenhaus. The Vikings waived running back A.J. Rose Jr. to make room on the 90-man roster.

The speedy Wilson joins a crowded and young depth chart behind starters Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen.

Receivers K.J. Osborn and Bisi Johnson have rotated with the first-team offense during spring practices, while Ihmir Smith-Marsette, Dan Chisena and rookie Jalen Nailor are expected to compete for jobs on special teams.
