Linebacker

Kenneth Murray, Jr.

No. 59 · 7th season

Kenneth Murray is in the room, and some team is about to remember why

Free agency can go quiet fast. One week you're starting every game, the next you're driving to a workout and hoping someone bites.

Murray was a first-round pick a few years back — the kind of selection that comes with a number and a set of expectations. Last season with the Dallas Cowboys, he started all 16 games he played and finished with 81 tackles. That's not a guy who fell off. That's a guy between jobs.

The New York Giants had him in recently for a workout, one of several teams that have reportedly shown interest. No contract yet, but the phone is ringing.

For a linebacker with that kind of experience and a full season of starts behind him, this moment is mostly about timing — which team has the need, and when they decide to pull the trigger. The market hasn't closed on him. It's just moving slowly.

Somewhere, a defensive coordinator is watching that tape right now.

Among the players working out for the #Giants was former first-round LB Kenneth Murray, who started 16 games for the #Cowboys last season, registering 81 tackles. No signing as of yet for Murray, who has other interested teams as well.
