The Houston Texans kept a veteran depth piece of their secondary ahead of free agency.
Safety Eric Murray and the team agreed to a new contract, according to KPRC 2’s Aaron Wilson. The terms of the deal later revealed Murray could make $1.75 million.

Murray, 30, played in just six games this past season after he was placed on injured reserve with a knee injury during a Week 6 win over the New Orleans Saints. He tallied 13 combined tackles during his defensive snaps and also played some special teams.
Murray joined Houston in 2020 after stints with the Cleveland Browns and Kansas City Chiefs. He has 311 career tackles, two career interceptions and 14 career defended passes.
He’s the most recent in-house free agent to re-sign with Houston after tight end Dalton Schultz and kicker Ka’imi Fairbairn also remained with the Texans.
