Vikings lose CB/ST Kris Boyd to Arizona Cardinals

Another member of the Minnesota Vikings’ 2022 defense. . .and, more importantly, their special teams. . .is moving on to a new home.

Cornerback/special teams ace Kris Boyd has signed a one-year deal with the Arizona Cardinals, according to numerous reports.

Boyd was a seventh-round pick of the Vikings out of Texas in the 2019 NFL Draft, and has spent his career to this point in Minnesota. He had seen some time on defense, largely due to injuries to other members of the cornerback room, but his best work with the Vikings was done on special teams, where he served as a pretty outstanding punt gunner.
