FRISCO, Texas -- Set to become a restricted free agent, All-Pro returner KaVontae Turpin and the Dallas Cowboys agreed to a three-year deal, according to sources.
Without the extension, Turpin was likely to get the second-round tender of $5.3 million but now he gets more security and the Cowboys retain one of their top playmakers.
Turpin led the NFL in kickoff return average (33.5 yards) in the first year of the dynamic kickoff and had a 99-yard return for a touchdown against the Washington Commanders. His average was the second highest in the league since the 1970 merger.
