After four seasons with the Dallas Cowboys, the All-Pro running back agreed Thursday to a fiveyear contract with the Philadelphia Eagles. Murray’s deal was valued at $42 million, with $21 million guaranteed, according to a person familiar with the deal who spoke on condition of anonymity because terms weren’t disclosed.
