The Vikings made a one-for-one trade recently with the Dallas Cowboys when Minnesota sent cornerback Andrew Booth Jr. for cornerback Nahshon Wright.
While Wright may not have made the Vikings contenders, getting rid of the former second-round pick out of Clemson appears to be in the Vikings’ best interest. Booth Jr. is not only considered a draft bust, but he’s fighting for his life on the Dallas roster bubble.
Things are not looking good for Booth Jr. On Saturday, the Cowboys played the Los Angeles Chargers, and Booth Jr. was seen getting torched on a 78-yard touchdown pass. Quarterback Easton Stick found Simi Fehoko for a long touchdown, and Booth Jr. was on the wrong end of it.
Once Minnesota traded Booth Jr. away, the Vikings signed former All-Pro cornerback Stephon Gillmore. Gillmore will start alongside Shaq Griffin, and Byron Murphy will play at the Nickel.
