NFLN Just Reported that Murray and Mathews will Both Sign

[KingintheNorth]

Thank goodness Training Camp is this weekend so they can get it in gear with this OL...
Wait- this is still early March?

Well... Huh.
I guess I have nothing witty right now.
Just a little dumb-founded at you.

Yet they have the free agency period now. I just like it when teams use their opportunities to improve. Some teams are using this opportunity. So far, we are not. Maybe the rest of the teams will leave some really good players for us to sign three months from now. Teams do that right?

How long until Sproles is shown the door?

You could probably show him the doggy door.

I suppose this can extend Murray's career playing in a rotation like this but it still doesn't make the money make sense.

I think this whole NFL thing is a little above Chip's head. He should take his play cards and call plays reallyfast in college.

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

He changes 1 side of the field. They also signed Thurman who was considered the best nickel in football. He'll go outside now I assume. Then they brought in tackling machine rookie of the year Kiko Alonso. They've significantly upgraded the secondary, and linebackers. I don't know if it works out, but it will be a significantly different defense, and secondary then we played last year.

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

Great news

Dumbo ears on NFLN is just infatuated with the signings Eagles' signings of Matthews and Murray. He's done everything but proclaim them as 2016 Super Bowl champs.

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.

At one time we had Dorsett & Walker and still didn't get to the big dance.....

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.

Many still do not realize his offense is based on the running game. The Ducks were always a top rushing team.

Chip uses RBs to move the chains and to maintain tempo.

Plus they still have the draft. I think they'll be better on defense, but not as good on offense next year. Still a 9-10 win team. MIght make the playoffs but won't make noise IMO
