I was thinking more along the lines of "that's backup money".. which sucks because he is potentially one of my keepers this year in fantasy

What's crazy is Murray choosing the Eagles over the team that just led him to the rushing title. Goood luck finding those monster holes in Philly. .

You're kidding right? Philadelphia had arguably a better O-line than Dallas last year.

Eagles are going to be fucking scary if they can find a WR and shore up the defense.

The more I think about the Murray deal, the more I'm growing sick to my stomach.

While I of course would have much preferred Murray out of the division altogether, I do prefer him in Philly to Dallas. Feel like Murray could have the come-down year that a lot of RBs have after a year where they carry a huge workload. Thing is Dallas' O-line is so ridiculous he would have still thrived. Not sure how he'll be in an Eagles offense that pretty much never slows down.

Was hoping the Pats would have been able to keep Browner with the freed up money from not getting Revis. Secondary is going to suck next season especially since they didn't even get their backup choice of Cromartie.

Don't see how Philly/Dallas isn't the week 1 SNF game now.
I mean, NBC COULD go with Philly/NE for the Thursday night opener but non-conference games usually wind up being a late afternoon Fox game or something. |

Not bitter just think Murray committed career suicide. Leave the best O line in the league to play in a spread offence that will see him get the ball 15 to 20 times a game. Dallas will be fine without him.

That makes... even less sense
A season after coming off 497 touches, getting 15-20 carries a game is absolutely perfect. Eagles' O-line graded out better than Dallas' for run blocking too I don't even |

Sure if you don't want the ball in you hands about 6 times a drive and would rather play for a team that has 2 other good backs to take your touches away, it makes since. I would want to be the main guy getting the ball every drive racking up yards but that just me.

My hatred of Murray leaving is mostly just sentimental. Dallas does have the best o-line in football but he wasn't JUST a product of it. He's a great running back. I can't fault Dallas for not wanting to overpay for him though. He's a guy who has been injury prone and is just coming off a season where he touched the ball a record amount of times which doesn't bode well for him. Not to mention the constant fumbles.
They can find someone who can be productive behind that line for much less money. He might not be Murray great but if they can find a guy who produces anywhere near what Murray did and can pay him far less money, it'll be better for them in the long run than crippling the team financially for years to come on a handful of players. |

Damnit. I agree with whoever said Chip Kelly will come out of this a genius ,or going back to college.
I don't trust Sanchez or Bradford winning or even taking them to the Superbowl. Their defense is upgraded , they still need decent receivers,its not like they have Tom Brady to elevate anyone. I don't blame Murray at all, just sucks it had to be with Philly. |

DeMarco Murray to the Eagles. What the hell is Chip Kelly doing there? Must be like hypnotizing free agents over the phone or something. |

Dallas somehow managed to get themselves an RB that is going to be more injury-prone than someone coming off a near-500 touch season this year. Bravo. At least he only got a $200k signing bonus, so he's an easy cut.

CJ Spiller to the Saints. That actually seems like a really good fit for him. Would be a good compliment to Ingram.

Did the Chiefs have a WR catch a touchdown last year? I know it was 0 going into the last 2 weeks of the season.

Colts got some good pickups this year, and they still have approximately ~9mil in cap space to play with. Didn't get a boost at safety that they needed, but goddamn if that offense doesn't look terrifying now. Plus the 2 major DE signings. With Mathis back, they might actually have a run defense this year. Gonna be fucking tits. I'm hella excited for Gore and AJ to be joining the team. Never really followed Gore, but AJ is a hell of a player and his veteran presence could be vital in the next few years without Reggie. I foresee at least one ring, maybe a couple SB appearances that maybe end with another ring. They've got the pieces there. They've cut the dead weight and "problem" players (*cough* Richardson *cough* Landry *cough*), and picked up some really impact players. Can't wait to see what they do in the draft now.

Trent Richardson filed a grievance against the Colts regarding the $3.1 million he was set to make for next season and triggers in his clause. According to him, the Colts purposely misled him about the status of his contract while also finding ways to get his money voided for next season.

Shouldn't his agent/Browns covered this with him when he signed the deal in the first place?
