Murray, 27, was a three-year starter at Oklahoma and earned second-team All-American honors before the Chargers traded up with the Patriots to select him with the No. 23 overall pick in the 2020 draft. 

Murray signed a four-year, $12,974,941 rookie contract that includes a $6,996,321 signing bonus. The contract included a fifth-year option for the Chargers to pick up for the 2024 season, but they declined it. 

Murray caught on with the Titans for the 2024 before being traded to the Cowboys last year. He’s bounced on and off the Texans’ practice squad this season. 

In 2026, Murray has appeared in two games for the Texans and recorded six tackles.
