NFL Free Agents Signings

[JoeRedskin]

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.

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.
