KaVontae Turpin, the Dallas Cowboys’ All-Pro returner, has secured a three-year contract worth $9 million, ensuring his spot with the team as he transitions to a restricted free agent status. Originally expected to receive a second-round tender of $5.3 million, this new deal provides Turpin more security as he continues to showcase his explosive skills. Last season, he led the NFL with a 33.5-yard kickoff return average, highlighted by a remarkable 99-yard touchdown against the Washington Commanders.

Turpin made history as the first Cowboy to achieve receiving, kickoff, and punt return touchdowns within a single season, underscoring his versatility. His impressive performance included a career-high 31 receptions for 420 yards and two touchdowns, along with 92 rushing yards. Having joined the Cowboys after earning MVP honors in the USFL, Turpin's impact on special teams makes him a vital asset for the franchise.
