[quote=EARTHQUAKE2689;1109072]He hasn't played safety before, so he might not be able to make the transition. Rather have him on the outside player corner jamming WR's and excelling in bump n run coverage[/quote]

It would be fun to see him beating up on WR's (especially Dez Bryant) as a Redskins corner. He and Breeland would be a very physical duo.

OK then, we'll fix the safety mess by signing Browner to play corner and then moving DHall to FS and Amerson to SS.

I wouldnt want Amerson playing SS. We will draft a safety, plus if our front 7 is thst much better our secondary will look better

Filed to ESPN: DeMarco Murray, en route now to Philly, is expected to sign with Eagles, per source.

The only positive here is that Philly doesn't have the OL that Dallas has or the QB.

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings
 

Murray is a good signing. First move by CK that I say, "okay, that makes sense." It is also the first move that causes me any concern. When healthy, Murray is a good, solid back that will fit well into CK's system.

With that said, Murray had one great year behind a great line with D. Bryant on the edge. Prior to that he was very good but oft injured. Also, I think Philly's line, while still competent, is not the line it was three years ago. Finally, what are the numbers involved? Generally, RB's are notoriously bad ROI signings. If he gets D.Murray at ~4.0M/year, very good. If he gets, D.Murray at ~8.0/yr. very bad.

All in all, I think its pretty much a zero sum game for the Skins in that Murray is still in the Division. In the short term, his departure hurts the Cowboys, and his arrival helps the Eagles. Would have preferred Murray to go the way of Shady but, oh well, can't get everything you want.

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings
 

Murray has 1,100 touches for his career and had a monster 449 touches last year alone. He's a candidate to run out of gas soon.

DeMarco Murray's deal with Eagles is expected to be 5 years, $42 million, including $21 million guaranteed, per @mortreport and I.

So Chip Kelly is paying Murray $8.4 M a year.

Points and laughs....talk about teams' FO playing fantasy football.


There is so many problems with the way this is coming together with the Eagles team, its gonna be fun to watch this fall.

My best guess is Jerry is on the phone with Minnesota and CJ Spiller's agent.

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings
 

Chiefs acquired LG Ben Grubbs from the Saints in exchange for a 2015 fifth-round pick.

It's wheeling and dealing season. Grubbs was in danger of getting cut by the Saints due to his insanely-high $9.6 million cap number as he enters year four of a five-year, $36 million deal. The Chiefs have lost a ton of offensive linemen in free agency the past two years. Grubbs, a two-time Pro Bowler, will solidify it. He hasn't missed a start in three seasons as one of the league's better guards.

another smart move by Reid

Plus 3.0M/yr for recently signed and oft injured Ryan Mathews.
Plus 4.1M/yr for Sproles (even if they cut sproles, its a cap hit of $3.5M).

So, replace Shady/Sproles (~$15M) with Murray/Mathews/dead cap Sproles (~$14.9M) or Murray/Mathews/Roster spot Sproles ($15.6M).

For all those saying the Shady trade was about cap space ... I beg to differ.

I would rather have [B]three[/B] good diverse (runners & pass catchers) Rb's than [B]one[/B] really expensive one that has a history of concussions. Your single $15M Rb gets another concussion and your team is screwed. There is an advantage to numbers and depth. Especially with how much CK wants to run the ball.

Maybe, but all three are just as big injury risks, and as one goes down the load on the others just gets worse.

Yeah but you have three for the price of one. What would want? 1 or 3?
Murray, Matthews and Sproles are pretty good trio.

when healthy.

when healthy mccoy gives you more ability in a single roster spot than any one of those 3 though. so while you're top 53 talent is better, the top 22 talent isn't, so if we're assuming health, i'd take mccoy.

if we're not, well... they'll probably all end up on the bench.

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings
 

i really do hope this iggles experiment blows up in their face. they've just been, so... arbitrary. it's like they're taking their roster advice directly from a magic 8-ball.

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings
 

Yeah I still can't tell if Kelly's an idiot or genius. Currently still thinking he's an idiot, but the Murray deal makes things more stable for them and I'm still scared somehow he's going to make everything work and surprise us. Things may be good on paper, but we've seen for a decade that injuries and free agents can mess up teams and locker rooms.

To be fair to McFadden, what back is going to do well in Oakland? He's seems like one of those kind of guys that always has some type of injury, similar to Ryan Mathews.
