Adam Schefer reporting Murray intends to sign; no contract signed by Mathews

[mldardy]

But to be fair, it was with the Rams. Philly has a better OL than the Rams did and with Murray, Sproles, Matthews, Ertz have some better weapons. Health will be key for Bradford.

OK the Eagles might have a better OL but it's still not good and Bradford isn't any good no matter how you slice it. Those 'weapons' LOL I see 1 maybe 1 1/2 weapons.

 

[Stash]

in all fairness, who's lining up for peterson, outside some cowboys fans?

Given that he's still under contract and it would constitute tampering to say anything publicly, I don't know that it's a fair question.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

You two knock it off or you can take a day off.

 

[LittleD]

And I'm 'going for broke' while we still have Romo.

Different strokes, I can see your point too.

No need to break the bank... Gurley may become a modern day AP.

 

[cowboyvic]

Congrat to Murray. big time pickup by Philly.Murray running against our bad defense, is going to be a nightmare.Jerry and his son made the decision to not pay this man what he wanted. now they have to play against the NFL offensive player of the year twice. good luck with that.

Gurley tore his ACL. he may not even be able to play this season.

 

[Zekeats]

Give me hardy, spiller and another starting defender and I would be happy...throw in 1st or 2nd round running back and I would be ecstatic

well we hear jones is anxious so that's out there. we heard AD wanted to be a CB during the season, so that's out there. 90% of the FAs signed this year before it even started and this little fact has yet to quell conversation about it.

so while not designed to be fair, it's still an honest question. what other teams are RUMORED to want ADs services should he be available? 95% of the teams out there didn't wanna pay murray $8 mil a year til the eagles fessed up for it. how many will pay more, or as much, for AD?

 

[pansophy]

I can't believe how many people think that AP is a viable option. We signed our insurance in Ryan Williams in case Murray left and this is the one of the deepest drafts at RB in a while. We've been talking about this for months. But then when Murray actually gets ready to go people freak about uncertainty and start talking about AP like this is even possible, let alone good for us in the long term.

Suck it up. We can't spend money everywhere and we have been losing because of defense, not offense, for years. I'm grateful we didn't spend big money on RB. With Romo and this O-line, if we can't get a pair of RBs to generate 1,500 yards then we have bigger problems than Murray leaving.

 

[Wrangler87]

Agreed..

We will miss him in those short yardage situations.. He could finish a run.. Guy has no vision though.

No burst either. Let's face it, a faster RB would have broken some of those runs for TD's. Look what Randle did running behind the same line. 7.6 yards a carry on over 50 carries.

Apparently pens are in short supply in the Eagles' facility.

Only time will tell.

I think the only other teams I had read about were the Colts (who filled their need), and the Cardinals.

But I think none of them can offer everything that Dallas can.

 

[lukin1966]

With all the injury prone players the eagles have signed at least there will be a lot of injury timeouts to slow themselves down. But as far as Murray leaving, I don't see it as a big deal, he cashing in on a career year ... history shows guys who have years like Murray generally start to decline the following year or soon after. Still would not be surprised if Dallas upped the ante and Murray was back. Running backs can be found in the 2nd and 3rd of the draft. Lets get a back this time that isn't as injury prone, doesn't fumble with some home run speed.

[mitchell2254]

You went from "just anybody" to "good"... and you can take that Randle junk out of here... spot player, that's all he is... Murray is/was a Pro Bowl RB...
My point is that you basically called Murray and JAG, which is just stupid... but you're entitled to your opinion, wrong as it may be.

There are 10 or 15 good RB's in the league. I won't get that Randle junk out of here, he ran thru the same holes Murray did and turned a lot of them in to big plays.

 

[BoysFan4ever]

I'm really disappointed he decided to sign with that garbage organization.

 

[LittleD]

Gurley tore his ACL. he may not even be able to play this season.

He might not start the season but, he would be available by game 5 or 6... Definitely worth the risk.

 

[DBOY3141]

Bill Polien was saying the same thing the other night. I think when only 3 teams (Jax, Oak, Philly) reach out to Murray who is the top RB in FA but 27, that says a lot about the value of RB's.

 

[coach steele]

Gurley tore his ACL. he may not even be able to play this season.

Medical check is important, but if everything is on track, he will play this season.

 

[MikeT22]

I read this a few weeks ago. Which is why I can't see them bringing in 30 year old AP when they are willing to let 27 yr old DM walk based off their study.
