CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Wide receiver Jarius Wright says he’s eager to play again for Carolina offensive coordinator Norv Turner — regardless of where he lines up.
Wright signed his three-year contract with the Panthers on Tuesday, one day after agreeing to terms .
The 28-year-old Wright figures to compete with Curtis Samuel for Carolina’s third down slot receiver spot behind starters Devin Funchess and Torrey Smith. Wright worked primarily as a slot receiver when he played 2 ½ seasons under Turner with the Minnesota Vikings but said he’s ready to do it all.
“With Norv I have played outside and inside and he does a great job of moving guys around,” Wright said Tuesday on a conference call. “I think we have a lot of guys who can do a lot of different things.”
