All of the focus on the Eagles’ offseason moves (or non-moves) so far has been squared on Sam Bradford. Will he be here? Should he be here? How much will he get paid? But DeMarco Murray is here, and he still doesn’t want to be.
According to Ian Rappppopopopopopoprt, the Eagles are being open with teams, letting them know that while a trade may be difficult to work out, Murray isn’t happy.
DeMarco Murray's affinity for DAL is evident. So is his $13M cap hit for #Eagles. Plenty to work out. Teams know his situation is unsettled

By trading Murray, the Eagles would actually save money on the cap (which seems to be the whole theme of the offseason), but everyone knows Murray doesn’t want to be here, and the Eagles would probably be fine not replacing him with a big-name back. That does irreparable damage to his value.

There are ZERO QBs in the draft this year. I am leaning more towards Kapernick right now
I’d trade him for some other hot men to look at!
Lindsay Graham is gay right? Its cool, I don’t care if he is or isn’t, just wondering.
Yes he is gay. Also Rubio was once a go go dancer at a gay club in Miami.
As you all know, I am a big Ted Cruz supporter, but these rumors of Rubio being gay and dancing at a gay club are crazy.
Rubio? LOL he is a straight arrow Catholic conservative. I believe the one about Lady Graham though.
yawn…
you signed the contract.
you ran chipper out of town…
now quit bitchin and move the chains, demarco.
You idiot Chip Kelly ran himself outta town.
Not a meat locker guy!

Lol w/the “quasi” he does pull that out a lot….. Now, oh…. My…… God… Hollis is one studdering bastard. Htf did he get the job he’s unlistenable. I can see the appeal of that belly laugh-thats it
Rooney Rule
Over
Push
Over.
I have him doing 37 phlegmmy throat clears
And at least 11 fake laughs.
Love how NFL reporters can report things based on no real evidence and get credit for doing their job. This is the same story over and over and it’s not even a story. It’s been speculation all along
Nobody is taking the bullshit contract that the Eagles gave him…
“Save money under the cap”==read: Juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuusssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
You are dumb, The Eagles can release him anytime they want. NFL contracts are good like that.
They can “cut” him for “nothing” (though the value of his signing bonus last year was more than most MLB, NBA, or NHL players will make in their careers) in the NFL, but they still have to take a salary cap hit at 13 million dollars. That’s like 10% of their entire salary cap on one cut player.
They could also trade him and “only” take a cap hit of 4 million on one player who isn’t even with the team. But that would require another team accepting his contract. Even though the Eagles have already paid the worst of it, no team not run by Chip Kelly wants to throw that kind of money at the running back position.
I feel like blowin my mind up!!!!
Wendy I have a case of Mountain Dew that expired in 2003, you want it?
Will you be tracking his flight out of town?
Pretty tired of this national media narrative. I expect Michael Irvin’s take yo be “YO HOOK A BROTHA UP HE WANTS TO GO BACK TO BIG D” but what part of 13 million in dead money do the Ian Rapports of the world not understand?
FUCKING BUM
The Eagles need to try and trade for RGIII. that’s the only shot they have of becoming relevant again.
If you think black lives matter, why do you want RG3 to play on this Eagles team?
I miss the days when you could write anything you wanted on here. But hey I guess racist and curse filled comments are more important. What are the actual words you can’t write?
Apparently, you can’t criticize the CB writers for beating an unfunny trope to death by repeating the last few letters of a sports reporter’s name. I mean, nobody finds it funny but it gets picked every time. But you can spew all kinds of nonsense about someone being a “juuuuu” or a “knee grow”, and they get through.
But what about knee grow juuus? Sammy Davis was NOT the only one. RH.EA.SucksSweatyBalls.c.om
See, now I wasn’t sure. But your comment made it through. So I guess you’re good there.
Getting your comment through is like scaling the beaches at Normandy. One false word will get you banned. It takes ingenuity to get through.
