So let's say you work at Microsoft. Apple just offered you a $10 million raise to come work for them. You gonna say no, just cause that's Microsoft's main rival? And when you take the job (because since I'm assuming youre a sane person that you will), is it okay for all your friends back at Mocrosoft to completely hate you now?

Look, I hate Philly. And when we play them, I hope we pound them by 40. But I will have no ill will towards DeMarco.

Your employee working for a different company is irrelevant. We are talking about our RB, Murray leaving here in his prime to go to one of the most despised rivals we have. We are fans. We root for our team and hate the other teams and their players. None of us know Murray. We never worked with him. Us hating him is not only acceptable now, but is to be expected!

a very good one if he stays healthy,they have a good oline too.

The thing is, they let their starting right guard go and the LT and LG are 33 years old. They are still very good players with pro bowl years but will they be as good this year given their age ? Kelce is a good center. So, probably Murray will be running behind a decent line - though age may be acthcing up with them.

Then there is the fact that they dont have any wr that scare anyone and they are very young at that position too.... and Bradford is the QB - so i think all of that works against murray.

But with the chip kelly offense who knows - he spreads the field horizontally - more than vertically - and does a lot of "gimmicky" things with alignments to spead your defense out so its really hard for me to try and imagine how that team is going to look.

Their OL is no longer a strength. It's a real concern with the scumbag fans in Philly.

Do not sweat DeMarco Murray. That is a stone cold lock to end badly. He is massively overrated by this board.

I still don't blame him. He was an older rookie who was taken outside the first couple rounds and has had a history of injuries. This is the only opportunity for him to get a big pay day to take care of his future and his family.

He wanted to be a Cowboy and was classy as could be while here. We are the ones who let him walk. Anybody who has ill will towards DeMarco is just wrong.

ya, he's only made what most of us make in 10-20 years....definitely needs more to take care of his future and family...because the rest of us wont be able to take care of our families on our pittance.

gimme a break

The NFL isn't like working at a computer store. This is real competition. You don't go to a division rival and you damn sure don't CALL THEM first begging them to sign you.

You guys have convinced me.

I'm sure that most of our guys would all accept a Home Depot salary to stay here cause they bleed silver and blue so they need to accept any lowball offers that don't match their talent, ability and market value.

That freaking selfish DeMarco. Hand me a pitchfork and point me towards the angry mob. Off with his greedy head!

How are all the Iggle fans with signing Murray? Excited? Do they think he will carry them to the Super Bowl?

... destroy his family.

Wait, that's going too far. Yeah, bloody his nose.

I was actually thinking of Keith Brooking's goofy little pre-game rallies.

I hope he does well, I like the guy. I hope everything around him crumbles and becomes ashes in his mouth though.

With an offense without a passing game and without a QB .. and with 3 RB's that will see the ball..

I think Murray hits 1.1k MAYBE at the best.

But I still like Murray .

Can't wait for Marinelli telling the defense to go for the ball, strip him, he carries it like a handbag.

If Austin ever stays healthy enough to put on an Eagle uni it will be one weird offseason.
