Titans acquire RB Murray

UNDATED (AP) — Agents for running back DeMarco Murray confirm that the NFL's 2014 rushing leader has been traded by the Philadelphia Eagles to the Tennessee Titans.

Murray also has a new contract in the deal, SportsTrust Advisors wrote on Twitter on Monday night.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal will not be announced until Wednesday.

Other terms of the deal were not immediately available.

Murray led the NFL in rushing for 1,845 yards with 13 touchdowns in Dallas in 2014 and was the NFL Offensive Player of the Year. He only ran for 702 yards with the Eagles last season.
