Cowboys, Vikings swap CBs Nahshon Wright, Andrew Booth

Nahshon Wright

Dallas and Minnesota have agreed to exchange Cowboys cornerback Nahshon Wright for Vikings cornerback Andrew Booth, according to multiple media reports Friday.

The Cowboys selected Wright in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft, and he has played in 32 games (three starts), primarily on special teams. The 25-year-old has 37 career tackles, one interception and five passes defensed.

The Vikings picked Booth in the second round of the 2022 draft, and he has played in 23 games (two starts). Booth, 23, has 20 tackles and one pass defensed.

Minnesota has been hit hard at defensive back. Rookie Khyree Jackson died in July in a car crash, and another potential starter, Mekhi Blackmon, tore his ACL on the first day of training camp. Shaquill Griffin has missed practice because of a strained hamstring.

The Vikings have added veterans Fabian Moreau, Cobi Francis and Duke Shelley, and now Wright, to the roster.

The Cowboys have more depth with two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Trevon Diggs expected to be ready for the season opener in his recovery from a torn ACL in his left knee in 2023. First-team All-Pro DaRon Bland (league bests with nine interceptions for 209 yards and five touchdowns last season) is the other starting cornerback on the outside. Rookie Caelen Carson has been having a strong camp.
