Kenneth Murray: Everything you need to know

Murray recorded 81 tackles (38 solo) including 1.0 sacks with two passes defended and a fumble recovery over 17 games for the Cowboys in 2025. The veteran linebacker was brought over from Tennessee in a March trade and was expected to be the centerpiece of defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus' system, which has historically led to big numbers for linebackers. Instead, the 27-year-old Murray seemed lost in the scheme and failed to make much of an impact, as he didn't collect double-digit tackles in any game. He'll be a free agent this offseason, and with Dallas having moved on from Eberflus to bring Christian Parker over from Philadelphia as the new DC, Murray will likely have to find another employer.

Murray recorded seven tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 44-24 loss to the Broncos. Murray tied for the team lead in tackles, even in the blowout loss. He has been remarkably consistent this season, logging at least seven tackles in six of eight contests. Murray will remain a key part of Dallas' defense so long as he's healthy.

Murray recorded nine tackles (six solo) including 1.0 sacks in Sunday's win over the Commanders. The veteran linebacker tied with rookie Shemar James for the team lead in tackles, and Murray also added his first sack as a Cowboy. He has two 100-tackle seasons on his resume already, and in DC Matt Eberflus' LB-friendly scheme, Murray is on pace for another with 51 tackles through seven games.
