Kenneth Murray, we hardly knew ye!
[UPDATE] – Jordan Schultz is reporting the Titans will get a sixth-round pick from the Cowboys in exchange for Murray and a seventh-round pick.
Ian Rapoport is reporting that the Tennessee Titans are trading ILB Kenneth Murray to the Dallas Cowboys. The Titans signed Murray to a 2-year $15.5 million dollar deal last offseason. Rapoport said the deal will be for a swap of late round picks.
Murray played in 14 games and had 95 tackles last season. He was pretty much as advertised in his time here. He was pretty good against the run but pretty bad in coverage. They signed another one of those guys, Cody Barton, this offseason. That made Murray expendable. Would have been rough to watch those guys playing next to each other in coverage. The Titans do still need to bring in another guy for the inside linebacker room.
The exact terms of the deal haven’t come out yet, but it won’t be anything of consequence. The Titans will probably just move up a few spots in the sixth or seventh round.
