The Los Angeles Chargers are set to revamp their defense under Jesse Minter and head coach Jim Harbaugh. Though the team is dealing with having to rework the team due to their cap room situation, there are  many pending FAs the team could easily let walk

One of those players is LB Kenneth Murray Jr., who has now signed a two-year deal with the Tennessee Titans.

Murray secured a $15.5 million two-year deal, that could potentially rise to $18 million barring performance incentives. 

Murray was drafted by the Chargers in 2020 in the first round. While the hope was high for the former Oklahoma Sooner, he never quite reached his potential with the Bolts. 

Murray managed to get a career-high three sacks last season and tied his career-high tackles with 107, but it wasn't enough to land him a big contract. 

Murray leaving for the Titans could indicate that Joey Bosa and/or Khalil Mack are set to be retained. The rumors were Bosa would be on the move to clear cap space, along with Mack—but Harbaugh is likely high on keeping both. 

Mack secured a career-high 17 sacks last season, and even though he was injured—Bosa still managed 6.5

Murray might be able to revitalize career with the Titans, but his time with the Chargers has now come to an end.
