Done deal now. DeMarco reunites with Sam. Chip must have really liked that 2008 offense that he patterned his hurry up after.
Looks like the Eagles are Murray's new team, with 5-year, $42 million deal; $21 million guaranteed. Reportedly Matthews has not/did not sign his deal. Now the Saints are shopping Kenny Stills.
When does Loadholt's contract run up? I'm sure Philly can get Iggy and Johnson for dirt cheap to replace Maclin and Jackson.
It would be Sammy's luck that the Rams will somehow make it to the conference finals this year, although I doubt they will, and he will get killed in Philly. Would've liked to see him get another year in St. Louis, stay healthy thru the whole year, and then tell them and the doubters to shove it and come to Denver to take Manning's place. Seems like him and Peyton are both cerebral QBs, so it would probably be a pretty good fit here. The kid's been snake bit with the injuries though. I think Kelly may be rolling the dice that Sam's luck will change and unlike Foles who didn't apparently have the work ethic to make his system work or maybe the on-the-field cerebral quick uptake and if Sammy doesn't stay healthy, then they'll just scrape by for a year with Dirty Sanchez

I nominate Tulsa. I'd never miss a game This is also Chip Kelly saying that he damn well better win this season or everyone is going to point all ten fingers at this offseason and blame him for dispensing Nick Foles and LeSean McCoy for Sam Bradford and DeMarco Murray. Sam and DeMarco, barring injury, will be in the NFL in 2016-17. Chip Kelly won't be if the Eagles don't make the playoffs* *or if the Eagles owe him an astronomical amount of money. maybe.
Sam wasn't ever going to do all that well for the Rams. Fisher is all about the QB working the sidelines and that has never been Sam's strength. Kelly is about the QB working the middle of the field and that is where Sam shines. You add Murray and Mathews, 2 guys who can get it done from the shotgun and you have a potent combination.
The Left, as far as I can tell, hates on Bill Belichick really hard, so, I would like to see AD go to the Pats.
