After a historic run on offensive players, two consecutive defensive players are off the board. Texas defensive tackle Byron Murphy II is the latest, being taken by the Seattle Seahawks with the 16th overall pick. A later riser in the class, a kid from the Dallas area is heading to the Pacific Northwest.
Murphy will make the move and take quite a pile of cash along with him. Spotrac revealed his contract details after being picked, expected to sign a four-year contract worth $16 million. He will get a nice signing bonus as well.
“As the #16 overall #NFLdraft pick, DT Byron Murphy should sign a 4 year, fully guaranteed $16M contract with the #Seahawks, including an $8.5M signing bonus, & a 5th year option in 2028,” Spotrac said via X.
