The Vikings dealt CB Andrew Booth Jr., a 2022 second-round pick, to the Cowboys on Friday for cornerback Nahshon Wright.

He was previously a beat reporter for the Minneapolis Star Tribune and Washington Times. He is a graduate of the University of Virginia. You can follow him via Twitter @SeifertESPN., the No. 42 pick of the 2022 draft, who played only 11% of the Vikings' defensive snaps over the past two seasons.
The Cowboys thought highly of Booth during the 2022 draft process and hope a change in scenery and perhaps scheme under new coordinator Mike Zimmer, former Vikings head coach, can help his development. Booth had a long injury history during his college career at Clemson and suffered a torn meniscus during his rookie season that required surgery and limited him to six games.
The Vikings hired defensive coordinator Brian Flores in 2023, and Booth never found a footing in his scheme. Despite the injuries and uncertainty at the position this summer, Booth was mostly practicing with the Vikings' third-team defense.. Neither player had a lasting impact, although Igbinoghene did score the Cowboys' first touchdown last season, off a blocked field goal.
