Texans' Eric Murray: Signs new deal with Houston
Murray (knee) and the Texans finalized a one-year contract Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

The safety has spent the last four campaigns with Houston, and he'll now be back for a fifth in 2024, competing with the likes of DeAndre Houston-Carson and others for a top reserve spot in the Texans' secondary.
