Taking a flier on adding a young depth player might not be a bad idea
The Vikings have waived third-year cornerback Akayleb Evans, a 2022 fourth-round pick who started 15 games for the Vikings in 2023.
After playing 855 defensive snaps (85%) for Minnesota last season, the 6-foot-2, 198-pound 25-year-old had only been on the field for three defensive snaps this season.
Deonte Banks has struggled as New York’s No. 1 cornerback, third-round pick Dru Phillips has been excellent in the slot, and Cor’Dale Flott, a third-year player who is still just 23 years old, has held his own opposite Banks.
