Murray was awful last year. He clearly has lost a step, and he was pretty beat up throughout the year. Gotta give it to him though, he played through a lot of his injuries. He's a warrior.StaffAmerica74":2kijjnn9 said:Murray was good the last 2 years... hell he was good every year that he wasn't in philly.

The goal right now is to get the best 90 guys into camp that you can. Signing a guy does not mean they won’t address that position in the draft. A lot of times with this front office it actually means the opposite. They are huge fans of hedging their draft needs with vets in free agency prior to the draft.
If he comes on the cheap, with a mostly non guaranteed co tract, I’d be all for bringing him into camp. Still draft a guy, but why not let him come into camp and let him compete. I think a big thing with the change that is taking place is getting back to the always compete theory. Bring in a bunch of talent in your 90 man camp and let them truly compete for their jobs.
Ok, Cary was a terrible player his entire career and Eddie was overweight and injury prone. Demarco has been very good everywhere by Philly. He’s a good player. People are assuming we are in full rebuild mode because we released/traded Sherm and Bennett so we couldn’t possibly sign a player that isn’t young. They are still going to bring in the most talent they can into camp within their financial model. If they could get Demarco in camp for a cheap deal without a lot of guarantees, that is not a bad thing. If there are a lot of guarantees then I agree, forget about it.chris98251":mo5zbr0m said:pcbball12":mo5zbr0m said:I don’t understand why people get all up in arms for a guy visiting.

Because we signed Eddy Lacy and Cary Williams when they visited.

If they don't take advantage of this RB draft class, I'm going to shit out at least 3 vital organs.
Know that I loved you.
