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. He also had a punt return for a touchdown, becoming the only player in the league with kick and punt returns for a score.

Turpin became the first Cowboy to have punt, kickoff and receiving touchdowns in a season.

He caught a career-high 31 passes for 420 yards and two scores, including a 64-yarder. He ran 16 times for 92 yards.

Turpin, 28, joined the Cowboys in 2022 after winning Most Valuable Player honors in the USFL while with the New Jersey Generals.

On Sunday, the Cowboys agreed to a three-year deal worth $9 million on their other restricted free agent, safety Markquese Bell.
