There is no doubt that we did the right thing by letting Murray walk.
Eagles players and fans are turning on Demarco Murray

Seth Joyner on DeMarco Murray's slide: 'You freakin coward'
November 24, 2015, 5:15 pm
Not since Michael Vick's days in Philadelphia has an Eagle's decision to slide (or try to) become such a story.
Former Eagles linebacker Seth Joyner weighed in Tuesday morning. Joyner was more than a little surprised when he saw DeMarco Murray slide instead of turning the corner in the Eagles' loss to Miami two Sundays ago.
"No, it doesn't happen," Joyner said on Comcast SportsNet's Breakfast on Broad. "Unless you're at the end of the half or the end of the game and you're trying to run the clock out, that is uncalled for, OK? The first thing that came to my mind was, 'You freakin' coward.' That's the first thing that came to my mind. You coward.
How do you lay down? I can understand if it was a defensive lineman. You want to try to preserve yourself.
But you've got defensive backs over there on that sideline. He laid down."
With the Eagles leading 16-3 in the first quarter, Murray on 3rd-and-1 was running toward the sideline and first-down marker. As he approached Dolphins cornerback Brice McCain, who weighs 185 pounds, the 217-pound Murray slid instead of attempting to turn the corner.
He was credited with the first down. But should he have been? According to the NFL rules, "When a runner slides feet first, the ball is dead the instant he touches the ground with anything other than his hands or his feet."

Not only that, but he wanted to play with Bradford whom I think was his college roommate.
How that going to workout with Bradford not in Philly next year.
