JAX Eric Murray
NFL safety. Position: S. Team: Jacksonville Jaguars.
Quick Facts
- Position: Safety
- Team: Jacksonville Jaguars
- Status: Week 1 starter for 2026
2026 Outlook
Murray was brought in last year to stabilize the Jaguars' secondary and fared well, earning a Week 1 starting role. However, the team has depth waiting in the wings: Caleb Ransaw and rookie Jalen Huskey are competing for playing time. If either shows progress before the deadline, Jacksonville could trade Murray to make room, expecting to recoup a 5th-round pick in return (per 4-players-the-jaguars-could-trade-before-the-2026-nfl-deadline-black-and-teal).
