DeMarco Murray may sign with Eagles today

All-Pro running back DeMarco Murray is on a plane to visit Philadelphia today, and he expects to sign a contract with the Eagles while there, ESPN is reporting this morning.

Philadelphia agreed to a three-year contract with running back Ryan Mathews on Wednesday, according to two people with knowledge of the deal.


It’s a no-lose situation for the Eagles. If they don’t get Murray, they’re helping drive up his price for the rival Dallas Cowboys. 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.
