The Tennessee Titans and fifth-round pick Larrell Murchison agreed to terms on a four-year deal on Wednesday, according to his agency, EnterSports Management.
Murchison is the first Titans 2020 NFL Draft pick to ink a deal.
On Thursday, the Houston Chronicle’s Aaron Wilson revealed that the NC State product’s deal is worth 3.572 million in total, with a signing bonus of $277K.

Murchison will have a chance to compete for snaps along the Titans’ defensive line in training camp. More likely than not, the 6-foot-2, 297-pound lineman will carve out a role as a situational pass-rusher to start.
Titans General manager Jon Robinson made it no secret that he coveted Murchison on Day 3, according to Erik Bacharach of the Tennessean.
Titans wanted him badly. How badly? Robinson said at the end of Day 2, Murchison was the last prospect he looked at before closing his computer for the night. “We weathered 67 picks there with him,” Robinson said, “and we were fortunate enough to get him.”
In two years at NC State, Murchison totaled 80 combined tackles and 11 sacks. The quality you hear most about him is that he has a non-stop motor and never takes a play off.
Murchison is also lauded as being a high-character individual and was a team captain during his junior college days at Louisburg College.
