Byron Murphy Jr. to join Vikings on three-year deal, per reports

Cornerback Byron Murphy Jr. is cashing in after one of the best seasons of his career.

Fresh off of his first Pro Bowl nod, Murphy has agreed to terms on a three-year, $66 million deal to return to the Minnesota Vikings, according to reports.

Murphy thrived in his second year under Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores. Following a solid, 14-game outing in 2023, the 27-year-old spent 2024 playing in every game and setting new career-high marks in tackles (81), tackles for a loss (6), passes defensed (14) and interceptions (6).

The former second-round pick by the Arizona Cardinals spent four years with his first team before signing his two-year, $17.5 million deal with Minnesota ahead of the 2023 season. Murphy’s Pro Bowl year in 2024 allowed him the shot at a nice pay raise in free agency, and the Vikings obliged.

In re-joining the Vikings, Murphy will remain a featured piece of the team’s defensive backfield.

The Vikings ranked second in dropback EPA allowed (-0.035) and second in passing success rate last season. They also allowed 4,114 yards in the air. Murphy allows them to fill Minnesota’s need at cornerback by keeping one of the best on the market this offseason.
