The Dallas Cowboys have made significant moves to bolster their defense, acquiring linebacker Kenneth Murray Jr. and a seventh-round pick from the Tennessee Titans in exchange for a sixth-round pick. They also traded for cornerback Kaiir Elam and a sixth-round pick from the Buffalo Bills, giving up a fifth-round pick this year and a seventh-rounder in 2026. Murray, a former first-round pick, has amassed 416 tackles and 8.5 sacks over five seasons. His standout year was 2023 with the Chargers, recording 107 tackles. Last season, he achieved a career-high 3.5 sacks with the Titans. Murray is set to earn a $5.99 million base salary this year, with a $1 million roster bonus due soon. The Cowboys also signed linebacker Jack Sanborn to a one-year deal. These moves come as the team faces linebacker shortages due to injuries and free agency. Cornerback Kaiir Elam, another first-round pick, has two career interceptions but has struggled recently. With several cornerbacks sidelined or departed, these acquisitions are crucial for the Cowboys’ defensive strategy.
