$5 mil less than McCoy, correct?
Should be a good fit in the offense. Not sure I like giving that amount to any RB but whatever. Good player.
Absolutely love it.
I'd rather they just kept Shady. This makes no sense to me.

Make that a $5.5 mil savings v. McCoy's renegotiated deal. So Kiko Alonso, Demarco Murray, and $5.5 million in savings in exchange for McCoy
How much of that will end up going to Mathews? It's still money going to the RB position. Makes no sense.

You'd rather have shady over Alonso/Murray/Matthews?
Rusty's drunky.
Yes, I would. Chip is just making deals for the sake of making deals. Are they markedly better now? Is Murray suddenly NOT injury prone? Is Murray, Sproles, Matthews any better than Shady, Sproles, Polk? Do we have any idea what Kiko will be able to do other than recite the Oregon fight song? It's just tinkering for the sake of tinkering.
No no, this is fine. The guy who's older than McCoy and had more wear and tear put on him last year than McCoy plus this broken linebacker and broken runningback are way better than just dumb old McCoy.
You guys are just being stupid now. I get the whole cynicism thing. Trust me. But this is a great signing and the three of them combined vs just Shady is a great return.

Yes
If shady went down last season who's his back up? Sproles is 150 lbs, Polk is never healthy. Murray was better than Shady last season. Now they have Murray and Mathews (if he signs). They save money plus add a good young LB. Don't see the downside in this.
I'm on the fence. Not thrilled that he ended up with a division rival but that's true of any Dallas FA and no way I wanted Dallas to spend that kind of $$ on him. You can't say he's overpaid based off of last season's production but my gut tells me last year was his peak.
No bitterness here. He wanted to get paid, he got paid and he wasn't going to get this kind of $$ in Dallas. Good for him, get it while you can.
I obviously can't speak from a Philly fan perspective but some of Kelly's moves... It's almost as thought Jerrah Jones threw a Chip Kelly costume on then started wheeling and dealing. I'm sure he has a plan but I can't grasp it.
I guess Chip runs his personnel like he runs his offense: "Keep'em guessing"
EJ, if you ever figure out what's going on, please let us know.
I'm pretty sure his plan is exactly what he said it was all along. Get good players at all positions. Keep improving the roster and get guys he wants in uniform. I'm not saying he's right on these moves, mind you. No one will know until the games are played but it's clear he has a plan. I doubt Murray was part of it, though. That's just something that fell into his lap. Lucky vs. good & whatnot...

yep....again im not gonna lose sleep over it but I agree with legendz in general that its to much for a rb and with Russell that demarco murray and matthews is silly
If Murray/Mathews/Alonso were all on the same team, and the Eagles traded Shady for all 3 players. Not one person in the world would say it was a bad move.

id still say they are investing too much money in the RB position
also matthews sucks...always hurt and not that good when he plays....hes chris polk
Mathews is a million x better than Polk but yes he is always injured
To date Mathews hasn't signed, so they at the very least got a similar player in Murray to shady and saved $5 million plus added a young linebacker.
Again where's the downside to this?
at least he's black and not a former duck.
Ryan Mathews is not good. And I have a strange irrational dislike for him.
Murray is. Is he overpaid? Yes, but he's good and here now so let's just hope he stays on the field.

if they don't sign Matthews it makes it significantly better....but at no time ever am I putting over 25 million dollars of guarantees into my tailback position...that money would upgrade other more important positions...and its not just about preventing you from adding other players because they have a lot of money...but putting that much money into that position might cause you to get a C+ guard or a C WR instead a A- or B+ guy
im not hating on the move....its just a philosophical difference btwn what id do and what chips doing...demarco murray is fine I just think you can get the same production out of a much cheaper player and you aren't getting more production than shady....basically imo if you love the demarco murray/Matthews deals then its because you love kiko Alonso cause hes the one that turns it into the eagles favor significantly if he is healthy and plays well
Blah, blah, blah. Just enjoy it, you big baby.
Really don't understand how we were not better served just drafting a RB. It shows a lack of awareness on our part to lock up Mathews then take Murray as well.
Did we not know we could sign Murray?
Would we sign Mathews today knowing we already had Murray?
I think we clearly would not, but the company line is going to be yes. I am interested to see the draft.
Before the Foles trade I was very on board with what Chip and company have been doing. I was a fan of Bradford's abilities 2 years ago as I'm sure many others were. In the past week we have gone from fiscally responsible to Phillies like spewtards. I need to drink whatever Jenkins is drinking. MMMMM money!
Mathews hasn't signed yet. When he does then you guys can commence with the bitching and moaning.
and also change another thread title about a guy who never became an eagle.
its still way too much for a rb even with just murray....but not signing Matthews would remove it from being dumb to just being unecessary
I'm looking forward to next season when Murray gets cut because he didn't lead the league in rushing behind a terrible offensive line and no passing game to keep defenses from stacking.
That's assuming Murray really did sign for reals unlike those other runningbacks.
the 42mil cap hit would be awesome.
Tell me the safety wr o lineman or cb currently available they should have used Murrays money on

I don't know what shadys cap hit was but if you add that to the cap hit they might take in 3 years when Murray is off the team, that probably more than makes up for what they saved getting Murray. I don't think chip has a clue about the salary cap, the closest his mind comes to thinking about it is, do I have to give this guy a full scholarship?

Dallas has no cap room and they offered him close to $6.5 million per season
What other teams with cap space needed an rb? Most good teams have good backs with the exception of New England but they have Brady so that's moot
I feel weird about him being in an Eagles uniform

dallas knows behind that line that whoever they have back there next year will more or less match what demarco murray would have done for them in 2015...but that person will in al likely hood be a lot younger and will cost a fraction of the 21 mil demarco murray got....the rest of the league didn't need a rb because they know their true value these days...outside of dummies like Oakland rex ryan Jacksonville and apparently the eagles know that occasionally youll get a special player like Adrian Peterson but running backs especially ones in an offense like chips are interchangeable and are as good as their scheme and line and passing game...like you said sproles was better than shady last year and maybe matthews and or sproles are better than demarco murray this year...its all a crap shoot at that position which is so dependent on others and its not worth the 30 million bucks in guarantees that the eagles have invested in it right now
And you would have done what with the extra cap space? Murray talent wise is an elite back. Yes dallas's o line was awesome but he also did well the years before they were good. Their o line wasnt highly thought of in 2013 and he ran for 1200 yards.
They can address cox/Kendricks in the offseason. Celek/demeco cut next offseason saves $12 million right off the bat.
So who else is out there worth getting?

You whining c*nts might want to dry your tears in a few moments because Murray is coming up live on NFL Network...

Yep - throat punch that bitch ass motherfarger.
what did he do
His usual antics, asked a stupid farging question about whether Dallas or the Eagles had a better shot at winning the Super Bowl... Murray answered the Eagles have a great shot... Eskin wouldn't let it drop and kept yammering on until Murray said the exact same thing while laughing in his face.
Welcome to Philly, DeMarco...

literally anything but that...
I dont know the exact numbers and correct me if im wrong but im pretty sure Matthews and demarco murray put them against the cap or real close and they still have numerous things to do
its why they are trading mathis to get some more cake
Last I saw they still had $10 million left
But let's say they don't...what else are you going to spend thst cap space on? Celek and Demeco are gone next season so that's $12 million
"Literally anything but that" is not an answer.
Hookers and an eight ball?
does that 10 million include todays contracts?
they need a safety....a few offensive lineman...another cb...a few wr's...now a couple of those can be filled in the draft but giving all that money to the rb position could severely hurt them specifically at wr...theres also trades...we don't know whose available now or who might be in the summer...but with little to no cap room you don't have the flexibility to make a deal for anyone significant
I wonder if any nfl team even has 20 mil in rb guarantees right now and the eagles have 30...its just not common sense from a football business standpoint...shtein chip said it himself the other day....this isn't baseball "we have a salary cap"....then he got a phone call from his quarterbacks best friend
Eskin's been a Cowboys fan since Jimmy johnson.
I'm 50/50 on signing Murray.
I do not like the potential trade of Mathis. He's 34 but he's in pretty good shape and hasn't had much mileage since he wasn't a full time started for awhile
Also, what does Chip care about the future if he's going to be fired after this season because these moves didn't work out? He can either let Howie worry about it later and not care himself or not need to care at all.

he doesn't
I don't have a problem with him going all out and spending them dry...but allocate wisely and what they did at rb is not wise
then again the nfl salary cap is a farce......as Washington has shown over the years...maybe he really can get a great player at every position and complete the plan

Official statement from Jerrah:
QuoteWe are very grateful to DeMarco Murray for his contributions to the Dallas Cowboys. He is a quality person, a very good football player, and a player that we wanted to keep.
We have great appreciation for his skills, and if there was no salary cap in place, DeMarco would be a Cowboy. This came down to an allocation of dollars within the management of the salary cap.
Obviously there is emotion involved in these decisions, but it is critical that there be must be discipline involved as well. If it were a question of having an open checkbook with no salary cap constraints, we all know things would have worked out differently.
We have recently made significant commitments to top players who are currently on the team, specifically at key positions such as quarterback, left tackle and wide receiver, and we were comfortable with the offer that we made to DeMarco to include him in that structure.
These are difficult decisions that are part of the NFL. They are decisions that take into account the entire team, the current economic structure of the team, and the financial concerns for the short and long term future of the team.
At the end of the day, this is about finding the best way to collectively fit all of the individual pieces together, in terms of talent, offensive players, defensive players and dollars—under the salary cap structure—that gives you the best chance to have a championship team.
lmfao at that cracka ass cracka opining about financial restraints.

I'm enjoying the Cowboys fans around here doing a 180 on how good he is. A couple guys at work were even analyzing his press conference saying that they could tell he was not excited and really wanted to stay in Dallas because he was totally lying about Philly!
And they also brought up lil guy's lord and savior Howard Eskin when saying "even the Philly media thought his answer about winning a SB was a joke" so I had to explain to them what a pot stirrer Eskin is and that he's been balls deep on Dallas since Jimmy was the coach
HA! farg them. Tell them face reality, stretch face couldn't afford him. They'll draft a RB in the second round and they'll move on. Be pissed at Jerrah, he poured everything into Romo. Last I checked Romo didn't restructure shtein.

You can see how the situation played out. Shady told Gore not to come here. Murray decided to so he call it a panic move. You can say it was a bad signing but it was hardly a panic move when they had two guys lined up before signing Murray. There was mutual interest and the Eagles acted on it.

Quote"I tell athletes all the time," Victorino said after his Red Sox beat the Phillies 8-0 on Monday via NJ.com. "I texted DeMarco when he signed here. I said, 'If there's a city that you want to win in and understand how important as an athlete it is to win in a city like this with them falling in love with you as an athlete ... this is one of the best.' I'm very appreciative.
"When you talk about winning in a city like [Philadelphia] and to be loved as an athlete, that's what it's all about. It's fun. I said, 'DeMarco, go do what you do, and you'll be fine.' I mean, he's going to be loved here."
#4 on the NFL's Top 100 of 2015 and highest-rated NFC East player in the history of the list
Wow. I would have thought Owens (if the list was being kept 10 years ago)or Shady would have been up there. Now that I think about it there hasn't been a dominant Giants or Racists player the past 10 years. Cowboys? Not really in the top 10. Guess this does make sense.
Also highest-rated player in the history of the list to switch teams.
It makes sense because the list has only been going on for 5 years.
It doesn't make sense because Murray's role is clearly going to be scaled back from what it was last year, plus he has a new offensive line, so it's not really reasonable to expect top 5 production from him this season.

How bad was the NFC East during AR's tenure? There were some real lean years there.
it was a complete joke
in the four year span that the eagles won their consecutive division titles only TWICE did a team win more than 8 games in a season
2001: jake plummer - tony banks - kerry collins - quincy carter
2002: chad hutchinson - kerry collins - shane matthews
2003: patrick ramsey - kerry collins - quincy carter
2004: vinnie testeverde - drew bledsoe - mark brunnell
andy won a couple division titles sinc then but basically once eli and romo came into the league the eagles have been just another team
what this shows more than anything is how important it is to have a qb in the nfl....the bedwetter was a good not great qb but he was the best qb in the division at that time and look what the eagles did
Who cares if the other teams sucked? They won a lot and it was fun as hell to be a fan then.
it wasnt fun in january
January '05 was fun. It was February that was bad. That was the one year the Eagles truly had all the pieces.
They were never a "great" team though. The NFC East hasn't had a great team in 20 years, even though the Giants pulled the Lombardi trophy out of their ass twice in that span.

I think he's in between, although Barnwell is closer. Barnwell takes it as a given that he won't play all 16 games, which I find a little extreme.
He may play every game but there is literally no chance that he gets the kind of touches that would put him near the top of a list like this. This team seems to be stockpiling RBs and TEs.

he had an epic amount of touches last year thats puts him in dangerous territory of a huge drop off....imo what they should do is limit his touches bwtn the 20's and then let him loose in the red zone....chips teams are terrible down there and murray is not
agreed completely.
Think Dallas is regretting the decision to not re-sign Murray now? If you're igy the answer is no, if you're the rest of the world you know their running game is farged regardless of how good their O line is. I'm not saying their running game will be one of the worst in the league but last year it was the best and now they're looking at being in the 20 area. Huge difference.

Yes it's all Murrays fault the o line can't block. Blah blah blah they should have signed this and that instead. There's still plenty of money under the cap to sign those players. Bottom line is they didn't
Murray isn't the problem. He's getting hit in the backfield every time he touches it. That being said, it does highlight the general stupidity of paying big money to RBs given how dependent on their OLine they are.
just give him his validation SD, football is secondary.

maybe having new hampshires offensive coordinator as your GM isn't a good idea
You could morph Walter Payton with Barry Sanders Eric Dickerson Jim Brown and Gale Sayers and it's the same result.
When they signed Murray they still had Mathis under contract and every person in the world assumed they'd upgrade the RG through the draft or with another FA. Everyone in the world was shocked when the draft ended and they didn't take one O lineman.
This is the same problem as last season when all their lineman went down except now it's a million times worse.
paying the kind of money they did for one running back is lunacy....they paid for two
running backs are worthless in todays nfl
can't run block, can't pass protect. but man, they got three RB's !!!
Remember how mad Chip got that his RB only ran for 1300 yards last year, so he traded him for a gimp he coached in college and spent a load of money on the guy who had 400 carries?

Well...he stayed healthy on his contract year to get caked off. Mission accomplished.
still think its all bogus and im not 100% sure hes even getting an mri...i fully expect them to come back and be like it was precautionary hes fine...i could be wrong we will see but i hope im right
I hope you're right too.
But he's historically been injured.
His fumbling issues haven't popped up yet...but then again he's getting hit so early he doesn't have a chance to farg it up
i thought it was bs until the mri....now im leaning toward of course hes injured
so its possible they lied about him being hurt to begin with but not possible they are lying about him having an mri?
chip made a player take back something he publicly said to the media more or less causing him to look like a fool.....trust me this guy would lie about an mri
dook is injury prone so of course he could be validly hurt but i lean no with the way it all went down...seemed waaaaaay to convienant and after seeing chips reaction to the questions at his presser it just makes too much sense
Rapoport says it's just a tweak

Rapoport says it's just a tweak
and he didnt even specifically say he had an mri...just said "underwent tests"....basically he had his smoothie filled out his post practice health form....check the box that said im fine and went home to bawl his hot ass beezy
she is insane...why hasnt anyone done a story on her
I think they did when he supposedly cheated on her

Eye of the tiger, Sam.
no go today so dook is validly hurt
I thought it was a bs injury too but honestly I'd hold him out regardless. Blame it on the hammy. Let Matthews get some reps, maybe the Jets don't take him seriously because he's a backup and doesn't have the big name. They can't do worse so there's nothing lost if he doesn't perform well.
totally agree....rb is one of your few positions of depth....use it
I think they'll really miss his 3 yards on 11 carries.
Maybe he should have fbombed and mad dogged Chip too. That clip is funny
I like the girl with the DSL's and terminator glasses.
will play
bye
farg you

its summed up to me in three seconds.....the slide
looked over the reactions....most of it was "ehhh" to "why does chip need another rb," except for:

You guys are just being stupid now. I get the whole cynicism thing. Trust me. But this is a great signing and the three of them combined vs just Shady is a great return.
4th round swap of picks with the titans for demarco
...which means the second pick of day 3
Wait, so all they did was switch positions in the 4th farging round? Hahahahahahaha. That's kind of hilarious. What a farging waste of a year.
Gold standard of the off-season.
its not much....but getting rid of a player who didn't want to be here was the important part...even more so than getting rid of his contract imo
Agreed. I just can't believe that they couldn't get an additional pick. I mean, I can believe it. DeMarco farging Murray, but it's still pretty amazing.
The 13-spot jump was the equivalent of a 5th-rd pick, which is what most expected
When it comes to 4th/5th rounders I've rather have that extra lottery ticket than to move up in the 4th, but whatever. The chart says a thing so we'd better believe that thing that the chart says.

Me too but honestly I'm just happy to get his contract off the books and his passive agressive-owner whining-bitch ass off the team.

imo it holds a little more value than the chart says because its the second pick on day 3
i also think 13 to 8 this year holds a little less value as i think there are only about 6 "stud" players at the top of the draft...7-15 or so are all about the same
where 8 holds most of its value this year is that it gives you a much better chance of grabbing a guy who may fall a few unexpected spots...and of course its a more valuable pick to trade back with

The alternative is Chip's "I'ma draft the kid nobody else even heard of in the first round" philosophy, so...

Think his Titans presser is this morning at 10 or 11. Can't wait to see all the nice things he has to say about the Birds.
