Demarco Murray to sign with Eagles

[FadeToBlack]

Seems nuts to sign a RB and then trade his best blockers, maybe they think Murray is that good

If a guy demands a trade and you can get good value back, you trade him. No point in having disgruntled players in your locker room.

6.5 million cap number for 2015 and he's 34, could bring something

Doesn't Maclin, Gore and Mathis all have the same agent in Drew Rosenhaus? Could also play a role.

Isn't he the guy who represented TO?

Bradford will be so much better in this offense. He won't be running for his life anymore. Working out of the shotgun and 1 step drops to throw is what he does. Way less chance of injury's that way too.

Yep

Yeah cause running without knees is hard and throwing to ? receivers is tough too

 

[Texas Jefe]

So sorta like Romo?

exactly ( well,sorta).

 

[Texas Jefe]

Romo is head and shoulders above Bradford & Sanchez.

This is absolutely true.

 

[purguy12]

Mathews still signing with Eagles. Eagles have 3 RBs making money. Now. WOW

Next question!

 

[packerzrule]

BOOM!

And the rest of the league trembles in fear.

With Dirty Sanchez pulling the trigger? Don't think so.

Cowboys fans be butthurt

 

[The Derski]

Gore never made sense for Chip Kelly anyway imo

Man that didn't take long.....

I don't know about that. Eagles Oline might be worse then the Rams.

I agree, It was a dumb move by Gore and Kelly if this happen. Gore didn't fit that system. Colts make more sense for Gore and Murray is a better fit for the Eagles.

I wanted to keep Murray, but no way would I want the boys to pay him 8.4 mil. a year to stay.
As far as he goes. You cant blame him for almost doubling his income for the next 5 years vs. staying in Dallas.
As far as the Cowboys. I think they can find another RB to run the ball just fine. My concern will be in pass protection. Murray wasnt the best at anything, but was a complete running back that could do it all. (most importantly pass block)

Don't see a Rookie RB being all that & a bag of chips when it comes to pass blocking in his rookie year.

Yeah, I really don't blame him either and was hoping we would keep him. I hate that he is on the Eagles though but I think what they have done is RB hurts them more than it helps. I mean they are going to need to have one of them play WR or something. Maybe they trade Mathews?

Either way, I know we need a decent RB. Perhaps we start making a move on AP now or I think Spiller is still available but I'm not really that interested in him. Be awesome if we could find a Le'Veon Bell in the 2nd round like the Steelers did just a couple years back.
