The 2021 third-round pick likewise contributed more on special teams than defense during his three years with Dallas, priming him to now compete for a similar role in Chicago.
The Vikings released Wright on Monday. Minnesota traded for Wright last August in a deal with Dallas for Andrew Booth. Wright ended up playing in just one game for the Vikings, logging 15 snaps on special teams and none on defense. He played more on special teams than on defense during his three years with the Cowboys as well and would likely be asked to accept a similar role if he lands with another organization.
Dallas traded Wright to the Vikings in exchange for Andrew Booth, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports. Wright will join Minnesota after spending the first three years of his NFL career with the Cowboys. The 6-foot-4 cornerback will join the Vikings as likely the backup to Shaquill Griffin but may see more opportunities in the preseason with Griffin battling a leg injury as of late.
