Minnesota Vikings cornerback Byron Murphy Jr. is returning on a three-year, $66 million deal, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The Vikings announced the deal but did not disclose terms.
Murphy got a second opportunity at the free agency market at age 27 for a number of factors. The Arizona Cardinals made him a second-round draft pick in 2019 three months after his 21st birthday and his rookie contract expired when he was 25.
He opted for a relatively short-term deal with the Vikings during the 2023 offseason, receiving a total of $17.5 million for the next two seasons.
