Drafted No. 33 in 2019 by the Arizona Cardinals, cornerback Byron Murphy has been trying to carve out more consistency as he enters his fifth in the league.

Byron Murphy Potential Extension
After spending the first four years of his career with the Arizona Cardinals, Murphy has found a new home entering 2023. He signed a two-year deal with the Minnesota Vikings and will try to stay healthy and build up more experience in the NFC North.
Staying on the field was a problem for Murphy in 2022, when he suited up for just nine games. The Vikings will be hoping he can return to his 2021 form, where he played in 16 games, recording four interceptions and one forced fumble.
How Murphy fares in his time with the Vikings will ultimately determine if he can sign a longer-term deal moving forward or if he’ll be tied to the short-term label he’s currently living on.
