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

[Vintage]

Jerry will recover. With a bottle of whiskey and some twenty something year old blondes.

 

[Silver N Blue]

Murray thanks for being a stand up classy guy. You had a great year last year and your professionalism on and off the field will be remembered. Good luck except those two times a year you suit up against the boys.

 

[DallasCowboys2080]

Short term, yeah definitely. But I don't think Murray is going to age well after the monster workload season he just went through, particularly in that up-tempo offense.

Also both these two and Bradford don't have many good knees between them.

u see i agree with that. but what if they have a 3 rotation back?

 

[DoctorChicken]

is jerry in a coma?

I'm wondering if McClay and Stephen have locked him in the team bus with some strippers or something. He probably doesn't even know what day it is.

Easier to provoke than a coma We'll find him next week in a Tijuana holding cell.

Murray and Kiko for less money than McCoy. That's a great deal for Eagles

time to request a new user name

Jerry was replaced by aliens last year.

 

[TrailBlazer]

Agree. Fish tried to set him straight

.@JLMax09 @CharlesRobinson SJones threshold on #DeMarco is $6M. Guar'd $, etc, make it more complicated. But that's the # inside VRanch

That's what Murray is worth. He can go fumble for philly. He will struggle to gain 1000 all purpose. He decides to go to the hated rival? Have fun losing the division.

 

[Common Sense]

You're probably right. I just view AP as the exception to every rule. I think he will be productive longer than Murray.

You better hope so. Demarco would be more than halfway through his contract by the time he's Peterson's current age.

Matthews is a china doll too (who isn't even signed technically yet) and Sproles isn't a 3 down back. Plus they don't substitute mid-series.

I think they are going to regret the heck out of this deal in 2-3 years.

 

[Stash]

We better work out a long term deal with Dez. If not, management is sending the wrong message to players IMO.

For the record, I wouldn't pay DM top 5 money. But if we don't pay our best RB and WR......

Who can?

Name me the NFL team - successful or not - that's paying 'Top 5 money' to their QB, RB, and WR?

I'll save you the time. Nobody. Nobody, good or lousy is doing that, because no team can afford to do it.

Who is going to tackle him, Cam Lawerence??

 

[cowboys2233]

If the Eagles wanted a high paid back why not keep Shady?

Because he is not close to being the RB that Murray is? How's that for starters? Murray is a punishing runner that can get really tough yards in critical situations. McCoy is elusive but fades badly near the goal line because he is nowhere near the physical presence that Murray is. In other words, McCoy will get numbers but most of it will be between the twenties and very little inside the twenties where, you know, they actually mean something. Murray will get you numbers and win because he has a nose for the goal line. Look at some of Murray's tough, inside the five, goal line runs. Do you ever see MCCoy fighting for tough yards like that? It's why Kelly couldn't wait to show this guy the door, you could almost feel his disgust with McCoy.

Not really sure why this is so difficult to comprehend for so many.

Wouldn't have Murray have been signed by someone if the above were true? They are both talented backs.

 

[superonyx]

Murray brought his Agent and Fiancé to philly with him. I doubt you do that if you don't plan to sign a deal.

He is being signed by someone. Our chief rival. He probably could have gotten more money from a number of other teams too, but wants to play for an organization that has a chance to compete, which eliminates teams like the Raiders and Jags. I knew there was no way he would sign with either of those outfits, they are clearly not well run organizations.

 

[CCBoy]

Tell Murray to ask his Daddie if he looks better in green? Both with cash and the now Philadelphia Ducks...

or they were hungry for some cheesesteak today. that be the only reason i'd go to philly.

This is what I think of Philly in FA so far
