Eagles Snap Up Murray

The Philadelphia Eagles have signed free agent kicker Eddie Murray, who played for the Super Bowl champion Dallas Cowboys last season.


Murray, 37, was an unrestricted free agent before agreeing to the new deal. The Eagles said Murray signed two one-year contracts but did not disclose the financial terms on Tuesday.


Murray, a 14-year NFL veteran, ranks 10th All-Time scorer with 1,263 points. He is second among active players behind Kansas City's Nick Lowery.


Murray joined the Cowboys before the third game of the regular season and hit on 28 of 33 field goal attempts, including 25 of 28 inside the 50, he was 6 for 6 in post-season, including three field goals in the Super Bowl victory over Buffalo.

A Message from The Moscow Times:

Dear readers,

We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.

By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
