Upcoming Off-Season Thread

[ice grillin you]

I know theres tons of time still but even with all this craziness they still need two safeties a few lineman a RB and a thousand receivers to complete their offseason

good news is they didn't destroy this years draft by stupidly going after mariota so they got

1
2
3
4 (presumably san frans pick as im assuming their 4th went to the rams)
5 (rams)
5
6
7

P. Schrager@PSchrags  · 13 mins13 minutes ago Eagles - Murray discussions have heated up significantly today. Bradford, by the way, was a Murray college roommate at Oklahoma. @NFLonFOX

Very true. Strong mutual interest. RT @PSchrags: Sources tell me Eagles are now "very much" in play in the DeMarco Murray chase.

Landing Ryan Mathews does not end Philadelphia's pursuit of Dallas free-agent RB DeMarco Murray. Hardly.

[phattymatty]

murray had one healthy season and carried it 900 times. i'm sure he won't break down this year.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Yeah - and he's a fumbler.

[ice grillin you]

Here we go...

the murray thing just doesnt make any sense. its slightly less preposterous than the made kap rumor. its definitely a ploy by murray's camp to drive up the price for dallas, the eagles are playing along for whatever reason.

-they just signed matthews
-the draft is strong at rb
-they need a rg
-they need a safety
-they need multiple wide receivers
-they need offensive line depth in the draft
-they need to resign cox and kendricks

i dont know how throwing big money at running back factors in that, but yea.

[AshishPatel81]

Cutting Jackson and yesterday's trade also made no sense. Chip does what he wants and marches to the beat of his own drum.

[MDS]

cutting jackson made sense to chip....he didnt drink his smoothies, didnt buy into his stupid culture thing, was too small and made too much money

they werent willing to go higher than 9 on mac. he got 11.

he liked bradford a lot more than foles. trade.

you can argue, and youd be right, that those decisions were wrong. but they made sense. signing murray does not, at least to my feeble brain.

[hbionic]

MDS, if you mention smoothies one more time, I will rape you.
