I guess he needed Bradford to help recruit Murray to the Eagles. lol

Well, whatever Chip does, trust him, because he's a damn genius.

Chip recruited Manziel at Oregon. No idea if there is any truth to this but would be really hard to believe considering Johnny's performance last season.

At this rate it wont be long enuff!

Im loving this stuff.

I am on record that I don't want this to happen. If he gets his guy in his system, it would not be good. I hope somebody takes him before the Eagles and keeps him.

He says on there the eagles get a third rounder back from the rams if bradford never plays. I guess i didnt know that

From pretty much all accounts, Murray is a standup guy. I wonder how Chip Kelly using Bradford to recruit him, then trading Bradford would affect how he feels about his new team and coach. If that is what's going on here. Shady yet brilliant from the Eagles standpoint. Kinda naïve and dumb on Murray's part tho.

Silly season.

Not brilliant...just Shady. No pun intended.

Silly season.

The off-season has been crazy also.

I thought Bradford and the rest of the crew were going to be bundled for Mariotta. Is Chip working or for Jerry?

"According to a source very close to an agent involved in the trade talks, the Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles have engaged in multiple discussions to send Browns QB Johnny Manziel, who is currently in rehab, and draft picks, to the Eagles in exchange for Eagles QB Sam Bradford, who was recently acquired via trade from the St. Louis Rams. According to our source, both sides are very motivated to get a deal done, with each side valuing the other’s QB more than the QB currently on their rosters."

Ferguson goes on to say that there are some factors preventing a deal from happening. One of them is Bradford's reluctance to sign a long-term deal with Cleveland. Another one is that the Eagles apparently want a first round pick from Cleveland along with Manziel.

The reason why the Eagles are so determined to get a first round pick, according to Ferguson, is because Philadelphia still wants to acquire Marcus Mariota.

"Our source went further and said that the Eagles are also hell-bent on moving up into the top 2-4 picks in the NFL Draft to select Marcus Mariota (who played under Eagles coach Chip Kelly at Oregon) and need the Browns 1st round pick to be a part of the deal so they can then use it as part of a deal to move into the top 4."

Murray was about the money. He understands the business. If it wasn't bout the Benjamins he would still be in Dallas. So don't feel bad for DeMarco.

The Browns aint giving up a No. 1 AND Manziel. They'd give him away in a fire sale. And if they really wanted a quarterback, they'd trade their two No. 1s this year to move up to get Mariotta themselves.

Hmmmm.... Yes...

@AllbrightNFL: I was told (again) yesterday evening the #Eagles are NOT trying to move Sam Bradford. Was told Manziel rumor "totally false."

Why would anybody feel bad for Murray, he's an Eagle?
