DeMarco Murray is changing teams again.
The Philadelphia Eagles reportedly will trade the 28-year-old running back to the Tennessee Titans when the NFL’s new business year begins Wednesday. Murray’s agents tweeted, “A trade & new contract has been orchestrated to make @DeMarcoMurray a member of the Tennessee @Titans.”
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the Eagles are expected to receive draft-pick compensation.
Murray was the 2014 NFL rushing champion when he gained 1,845 yards on 392 carries (4.7-yard average) for the Dallas Cowboys. He also produced a league-high 13 rushing touchdowns.
In March 2015, he signed a five-year, $42 million free agent contract with the Eagles.
During his lone season in Philadelphia, Murray played in 15 games and started eight. He gained a team-high 702 yards on 193 carries (3.6-yard average) with six touchdowns.
Over five NFL seasons since he was the Cowboys’ third-round draft pick in 2011 out of Oklahoma, Murray has 5,228 rushing yards on 1,127 carries (4.6-yard average) with 34 touchdowns on the ground. He also has 214 receptions for 1,518 yards and two touchdowns.
Last season, the Titans’ rushing attack ranked 25th in the NFL with an average of 92.8 yards per game. Antonio Andrews (520 yards on 142 carries) and Dexter McCluster (247 yards on 55 carries) were Tennessee’s top running backs. Quarterback Marcus Mariota came in second on the team in rushing with 252 yards on the ground on 34 attempts.
