STM Take
Tier 6 (#44) breakout in year 10 as a 2016 Minnesota 4th-round pick puts Murray in the rare late-career journeyman S class. The Minnesota Big Ten 4th-round origin plus 10 years of NFL survival give him real journeyman veteran value. The 2026 question is whether Murray holds tier 7 or better at age 31 or whether the role compresses to swing depth.
Murray came out of Minnesota as the Kansas City Chiefs' 4th-round pick (106th overall) in 2016 and has bounced through the Chiefs, Browns, Texans, and now Jaguars across 10 NFL seasons. His STTM career runs tier 8 (#93) in 2019, tier 8 (#65) in 2021, tier 8 (#57) in 2024, and tier 6 (#44) breakout in 2025.
Strengths
- 10 years of NFL survival across four teams as a 4th-round pick gives him the rare journeyman late-career résumé.
- Tier 6 (#44) breakout in year 10 confirms the structural ceiling is still reachable in the late chapter.
Concerns
- Career STTM range mostly tier 8 across nine of 10 years confirms the structural ceiling has rarely climbed above rotational depth.
- Age 31 plus 10 years of S wear puts the late-career structural decline question on every 2026 projection.
What to watch: Whether Murray holds tier 7 or better in 2026 with Jacksonville or whether the role compresses to swing depth.
