Albert Breer from NFL Network said that Sam Bradford is actively recruiting DeMarco Murray to play in Philly and he is already proving useful for Chip Kelly.

Bradford and Murray were roommates at school and came up together where they go back to their days at Oklahoma. It is known that there is a history between Murray and Bradford.

According to reports DeMarco Murray will visit the Eagles on Thursday, and Cowboys offered him a deal worth $5 million per year. Murray totaled 13 rushing yards and ran also for an NFL-best 1,845 yards for the Cowboys in 2014.

Murray will have to lower his expectations, and when he does the Eagles may see it as a bargain to land him, thats because no one has been able to meet Murray’s demands which will make on his contract with them.

The Eagles pursuit of Murray would not have been conceivable two weeks ago. Murray is PFT’s top-rated unsigned free agent and no other free agent has had quite as much intrigue swirling about the decision-making process of Murray.

He’d reunite with his former No. 1 overall pick by the Rams in the 2010 draft, Oklahoma teammate Sam Bradford, that if he agreed to a deal with the Eagles which traded Nick Foles for Bradford on Tuesday.

Frank Gore cleared that he and his team had a deal with Philadelphia Eagles that search for running back to replace LeSean McCoy, who was traded to Buffalo last week.

Gore is coming to the Eagles to take about $3 to $4 million a year for the next two years and McCoy’s new deal in Buffalo, worth around $40 million. comparing with McCoy in 2015 the money the Eagles saved on McCoy Gore, Darren Sproles, Chris Polk and a rookie won’t make a much combine.

Eagles may offer also offer Gore opportunities beside its generous contract. McCoy led the NFL in rushing in 2013 and ranked fourth last year. there were a hurry-up offense ranks second in the NFL in rushing yards and fourth in rushing attempts. McCoy led the NFL in rushing in 2013 and ranked fourth last year since head coach Chip Kelly arrived in 2013, Philadelphia’s innovative.

The former NFL scout and personnel executive said last week “Frank Gore is not a special athlete, but he’s a special player and he’s a special teammate. If I was running a team and I needed that kind of running back, Frank Gore is someone I’d be talking to.”
