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.

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.
