A minor roster move on this Monday
With the free agent signing frenzy basically over or, at the very least, taking an extended pause, the Minnesota Vikings announced that they were parting ways with a player who played a limited role for the team in 2024.
The team has announced that they have released cornerback Nahshon Wright.
Wright was acquired by the Vikings last August in a trade for fellow cornerback Andrew Booth Jr., a deal involving two players who never truly lived up to expectations for their original teams. Wright was a third-round pick of the Cowboys in 2021, while Booth was taken by the Vikings in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft.
After the Vikings acquired Wright, he was waived as a part of the team’s final cuts and brought back to the practice squad. He wound up appearing in just one game for the Vikings, the team’s 23-22 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 13, playing 15 snaps on special teams and not recording any statistics.
We’ll see if Wright catches on anywhere going forward or if the Vikings show any interest in bringing him back for Training Camp.
