The Minnesota Vikings have begun their latest revamp of their secondary by agreeing to terms with former Arizona cornerback Byron Murphy. The agreement was confirmed to The Associated Press by a person with knowledge of the deal who spoke on condition of anonymity because contracts can’t be signed until after free agency begins. The 25-year-old Murphy replaced Patrick Peterson in the Cardinals lineup in 2021 when Peterson joined the Vikings. Now the 2019 second-round draft pick will take over for Peterson again. Peterson departed for Pittsburgh. Murphy was limited to nine games in 2022. He was hampered by a back injury.
