Eagles trading DeMarco Murray to Titans, sources say

— -- The Tennessee Titans were finalizing a deal Monday to trade for Philadelphia Eagles running back DeMarco Murray, league sources told ESPN.

The trade is expected to be completed when the new league year begins Wednesday and, according to a source, is expected to involve draft-pick compensation.

Murray was given permission to find a trade partner, and he identified and sought out Tennessee, which he thought to be a good fit and an exciting opportunity, according to one person who knows Murray.

Murray's agent, Bill Johnson, spent recent days helping to work out the deal with Tennessee.

Johnson and Titans officials felt comfortable enough Monday night that the trade now is expected to be officially completed Wednesday.
