Report: Eagles will listen to trade offers for DeMarco Murray
The Philadelphia Eagles will listen to trade offers for running back DeMarco Murray, reports NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport.
Murray played in 15 games for the Eagles last season, running 193 times for 702 yards and six touchdowns. He complained publicly about his playing time with the Eagles, saying he needed to run the ball more often.
Murray’s role with the team was significantly diminished compared to his final season with the Cowboys, when he recorded 392 carries and 1,845 yards. Philadelphia signed the running back to a five-year, $40 million contract last March, including $18 million in guaranteed money.

The Eagles fired coach Chip Kelly, who signed Murray, before the end of the 2015 regular season.
