Kenneth Murray Works Out For Giants As Other Teams Circle

Murray's visit and his prior working relationship with Giants defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson make a veteran depth signing more likely than a return to a full-time starting role.

Overview

  • Murray, who worked out for the New York Giants on Monday, has not been signed and NFL insiders say multiple teams have shown interest in the free-agent linebacker.
  • The Cowboys declined to re-sign Murray this offseason after he started 16 games in 2025 and finished with 81 tackles for Dallas.
  • Analytic evaluations shadow Murray's counting stats, with Pro Football Focus ranking him near the bottom of qualifying linebackers for 2025 because of inconsistent play and poor overall grades.
  • New York's linebacker room already includes Tremaine Edmunds, Arvell Reese and Micah McFadden, so any addition of Murray would likely be for veteran depth or rotational competition rather than a guaranteed starting spot.
  • Murray is a six-year pro with 83 starts in 90 games and his workout highlights how teams use training-camp tryouts to add experienced, low-risk depth that can help during injuries or early-season turnover.
