Murray’s current team, the Philadelphia Eagles, is expected to receive draft-pick compensation in return, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Murray, who began his career with the Dallas Cowboys, spent just one season in Philadelphia, averaging a career-low 3.6 rushing yards on 193 carries. He’s the third high-profile Chip Kelly acquisition set to be traded this week, joining linebacker Kiko Alonso and Byron Maxwell, who reportedly will be dealt to the Miami Dolphins.
Murray reportedly had a strained relationship with both Kelly, the former Philly head coach who since has moved on to the San Francisco 49ers, and the Eagles organization as a whole.
