Eagles agree to trade DeMarco Murray to Titans

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — DeMarco Murray will be leaving Philadelphia after only one season for Tennessee in a trade the Titans hope gives them the running threat they've lacked since releasing Chris Johnson, while the Eagles rid themselves of one of the contracts signed by former coach Chip Kelly.

"A trade [and] a new contract has been orchestrated to make [DeMarco Murray] a member of the Tennessee @Titans," Murray's agents at SportsTrust Advisors wrote on Twitter tonight.

Murray signed a five-year, $40 million contract with $21 million guaranteed with Philadelphia last year, and a person familiar with the trade told The Associated Press that Murray agreed to rework his deal. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal will not be announced until Wednesday.

ESPN first reported the trade.

Other terms of the deal were not immediately available. The Titans hold the No. 1 pick in the April draft and have eight draft picks — three in the top 64 selections.
