Cowboys Trade Nahshon Wright for Andrew Booth

The Dallas Cowboys have traded cornerback Nahshon Wright to the Minnesota Vikings in exchange for Andrew Booth, pending physicals. Booth, drafted 42nd overall in 2022, had a limited role with the Vikings, appearing in just 23 games over two seasons and struggling to secure a starting position. The Cowboys are hopeful that Booth can unlock his potential under their coaching staff, particularly given his standout performance at Clemson. In contrast, Wright, a third-round pick in 2021, has seen limited action despite injuries among the Cowboys' cornerbacks and recorded 37 tackles and one interception in his career. This trade reflects both teams' strategies to enhance their defensive backfields with players who need a fresh start. The move is expected to bolster Dallas's depth behind Trevon Diggs and compete for a backup role.
