Vikings' Byron Murphy: Returning to Minnesota

The Vikings re-signed Murphy to a three-year, $66 million contract Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

At $22 million per year, Murphy becomes the NFL's third-highest paid cornerback, behind Jalen Ramsey and Patrick Surtain. Murphy started all 17 regular-season games for the Vikings last season, finishing with career highs across the board, including 81 tackles (62 solo) and 14 pass breakups, including six interceptions. Murphy was also selected to his first Pro Bowl. He's found a home under Minnesota DC Brian Flores.
