Last offseason, the Arizona Cardinals did not give any free agent a contract longer than two years. Things are different this offseason.
The Cardinals’ first reported addition in free agency was former Tennessee Titans and Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting. According to Avi Meirov, the deal is three years and worth $17.4 million.
Murphy played on a one-year, $3.5 million contract last season with the Titans.
It will take a few days to get more details about the contract, but it is an average of $5.8 million per season, which is a pretty reasonable deal for a decent starting cornerback in the league.
In 2023 for the Titans, Murphy-Bunting played in 14 games, starting all of them, and had 57 total tackles, three for loss, two interceptions, eight pass breakups, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery.
