The Houston Texans carved out some salary cap space with the restructuring of safety Eric Murray’s contract.
Aaron Wilson from KPRC-TV was able to obtain the details of the restructured contract.
Murray’s salary cap hit goes from $5.357 million in 2023 to $3.887 million. The Texans gave Murray a $650,000 signing bonus.
Murray has a $1.6 million base salary with $1.476 million guaranteed. The 29-year-old gets up to $250,000 per game in active roster bonuses along with an additional $1.5 million in playtime incentives with a $2.5 million base value.
The former Kansas City Chiefs 2018 fourth-round pick had 27 combined tackles through 17 games last season. Murray saw his snaps shift from defense to special teams — 119 to 403 — due to the rise of second-round rookie Jalen Pitre.
