NFLN Just Reported that Murray and Mathews will Both Sign

[Fontaine]

This is from Rapoport. Apparently they're both touring the facility now?! That's a lot of cap money gone....

How long until Sproles is shown the door?

I wouldn't have thought that Chip Kelly would have the best running back tandem in the league while we have Joseph Randle and Dunbar.

I thought the Eagles were a pass happy team. Kind of surprised.

That's a lot of cap money tied up in an injury prone backfield....

FIFY

When you don't pay a qb high money....

 

[KingintheNorth]

We got Ryan Williams, who I really like, but was on the practice squad the entire season. We got the Underwear Bandit and Dunbar.

We got this.

It's an incredible duo, but since they can't play next to one another on the field, it's curious to invest SO much at the running back position. You pay $21 million guaranteed to Murray, but only intend on giving him the ball maybe 17 times? Hey, this thing could work out perfectly for them but it strikes me as odd on the surface.

this is a really good move for them and bad for us

 

[Ultra Warrior]

Victim #1 & #2.

 

[Zimmy Lives]

Didn't Dallas have Herschel Walker and Tony D in the same backfield once upon a time? I don't think it worked out well.

When you don't pay a qb high money....

which strategy do you prefer?

$13 million for Bradford isnt exactly cheap though either.

Trade winds blowing

Are you kidding? Walker turned out excellent.

I agree, it is really scary, plus I think IF Bradford can stay healthy he'll be really freaking good too.

BUT at the same time, they have a ton of money now invested in Bradford, Murray, and Matthews who all have injury histories. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.

They can dump all their money into offense while ignoring their horrid secondary (and no, Maxwell doesn't change that).

What was their cap to begin with?

Give me the exact opposite.

One of them is bound to be injured at any given time
