After watching him struggle to make an impact on the field, the Vikings have decided to cut bait on cornerback Andrew Booth Jr.
A source confirmed to the Pioneer Press on Friday afternoon that the Vikings have traded Booth to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for cornerback Nahshon Wright. It will be a fresh start for both players as they attempt to get their respective careers on track.
The trade will be completed pending physicals.
It’s been tough sledding for Booth since the Vikings selected him in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft. He has struggled with injuries throughout his career and hasn’t seen much playing time as a result. It didn’t seem that was going to change this season with the Vikings as a number of his peers had already passed him on the depth chart.
As for Wright, he also hasn’t done much in his career to this point, playing mostly on special teams since the Cowboys selected him in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft. The most intriguing thing about Wright is his 6-foot-4, 185-pound frame, which falls in line with the size defensive coordinator Brian Flores looks for at the position.
