Murphy earned his first Pro Bowl nod in 2024, and it came as no surprise to see Minnesota re-sign him to a three-year, $66 million contract. Defensive coordinator Brian Flores has found a way to make the most of Murphy's talents in coverage, as demonstrated by the career-high six interceptions he logged while playing all 17 regular-season games last year.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Drawing interest from Giants
The Giants have shown interest in signing Murphy as a free agent, per Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News.
ANALYSIS
Big Blue is looking to upgrade at cornerback this offseason, and signing Murphy would be a step in the right direction. If the Vikings don't use the franchise tag on Murphy, the 27-year-old cornerback would likely have a robust market in free agency after notching 14 passes defensed during the 2024 regular season and being named to the Pro Bowl.
