According to information from the sports world DeMarco Murray is an American football running back who is currently a free agent. He was drafted by the Cowboys in the third round of the 2011 NFL Draft. To the report from the League sources that Murray “personally reached out” to Eagles head coach, Chip Kelly is expecting to sign a contract with the Eagles.
DeMarco Murray’s family members also want to join the Eagle, in an announcement his family members said: “He’s going to be an Eagle.”
According to the other team such as the Cowboys and Murray have been in talks, and other teams including the Raiders and Jaguars have shown interest as well, but from all indications Murray wants to go to Philadelphia Eagles.
The genius, Murray helped the Cowboys win the NFC East title last season while rushing for a franchise-record 1,845 yards. He broke the Dallas record held by NFL career rushing leader Emmitt Smith and also set a league mark with eight straight 100-yard games to start the season.
In a statement the 27-year-old Murray turned down a four-year, $16 million offer from the Cowboys last fall and went on to become the AP Offensive Player of the Year. He played 16 games for the first time in 2014 after missing games with injuries in each of his first three years.
The controversy going on high about the shifting of Murray where the Eagles could actually be increasing Murray’s market value. If he decides to re-sign with Dallas for a higher price, the better it would be for other teams.
On the other hand The Eagles completed a trade this week with St. Louis for quarterback Sam Bradford, Murray’s good friend and former Sooners teammate whom he roomed with at Oklahoma.
Murray, a free agent in 2011 third-round pick and two-time Pro Bowler, had problems staying healthy in his first two seasons but has emerged as one of the game’s best runners over the past two seasons with over 2,900 rushing yards combined in 2013 and 2014.
In the same time Philadelphia’s interest in Murray works two ways for them. They could outright sign him, thereby getting him away from the Cowboys, or drive the price tag so high that Dallas would have to move out other salaries in order to retain him. So the suspense is waiting where he is going.
