The star RB will meet with Eagles management today
Four days ago, the Eagles seemed certain that they had snagged their running back to replace LeSean Mccoy when it was announced that they had agreed to terms with Frank Gore. Twenty-four hours later, Gore had a change of heart and the Colts swooped in to sign him. Just yesterday, the NFL Network reported that the Eagles had come to a deal with free agent RB Ryan Mathews, formerly of the Chargers. However, Mathews has still not physically appeared in Philly to put pen to paper on the contract, so the Eagles might have yet another RB turning their backs on them during this free agency period. Enter Demarco Murray, who took it upon himself on Wednesday to reach out to the Philadelphia Eagles and express his interest to play in Chip Kelly's spread offense, according to ESPN's Chris Mortensen. Demarco Murray attended the University of Oklahoma, along with newly acquired Eagle, QB Sam Bradford. There are connections within the roster and organization that seem to suggest a perfect fit for Demarco Murray in Philadelphia, presenting an excellent opportunity for the physically dominant RB to play against his ex-team twice per season. Redemption could be sweet for Demarco this coming season, who declined an extension from the Cowboys which would've paid him $5M per season. So perhaps missing out on Frank Gore wasn't so bad, right Chip?
