Eagles to give DeMarco Murray five-year, $42 million deal

That will be a good backfield combo along with Sproles. Lots of weapons.

We know all about having a ton of weapons and no one to distribute the ball.

Too many talented backs that will want the rock. At least sproles can split out or catch passes.

Former Chargers RB Ryan Mathews is STILL signing with the Eagles. He'll share the backfield with DeMarco Murray.

Considering RB is the most injury prone position this probably helps extend both of their careers.

Seems legit.

HIGHLY Debatable! Although per sports line he got Murray And Alonso now for cheaper then the price tag on McCoy...

Quantity over Quality I suppose..

That much money tied up in the backfield will eventually cost them at other positions. Who's is going to line up at WR and who is going to block for them?

I guess they're going to go WR in the draft because aside from Jordan Matthews(who showed flashes of being a stud last year), they really don't have anything. Riley Cooper is vastly overrated. They do have good tight ends but that's about it. As for their offensive line, letting Herrimans go was a bit of a head scratcher but he's been injury prone. Kelce is a good center but he too has been injury prone as of late. Evan Mathis is getting up in years and word has it the Eagles are trying to trade him. They're not going to be good.
