Per NFL Network, Minnesota and cornerback Byron Murphy Jr. agreed to a three-year, $66 million contract.
Murphy made his first Pro Bowl in 2024 and is now awarded with a significant pay raise after earning a total of $27 million over the first five seasons of his career.
In 17 games last season, Murphy tallied two interceptions, 14 passes defended, 81 tackles and a forced fumble. He allowed opposing quarterbacks a 76.7 passer rating when targeting him, a career-best mark.
