There he is again. Here's to you Mrs. Robinson, the jags don't love you more than you will know, ow ow ow!
Quote:If this is the case, why was there so much buzz around us and Murray with people saying we were willing to offer more money than anyone else? This is honestly just annoying.
Coz, apparently...sauces

I would be ok if we could offer a deal that would beat the Cowboys offer, but no way would I go nuts getting into a bidding war with the Raiders. Although at this point with the Raiders getting Helu and the Eagles getting Matthews, they have some fallback and aren't in dire need. Might be that the market dries up totally for a big deal.
Quote:At this point I can truly care less if we get Murray. If he really wanted to be on this team he would have signed yesterday. It's obvious that he has no real intention of playing here; and is using us for leverage.
Hey, running backs have a short life span. I have no problem with him trying to get the best deal possible, but he might have screwed up the timing with other teams signing guys.

Umm...?
Oh well. We can't sign them all.
Ryan O. says we have no interest in Crabtree.

To ask a question and then answer it myself: Are the #Eagles in it for DeMarco Murray? Yes. it is very real.
It appears to me that the Jags have set a number in terms of money they want to spend.


With that in mind, appearances are also that the Jags offered Demarco the most that they intend to offer and are sitting on their hands waiting on a decision. If he signs, we're pretty much done. If he goes elsewhere, it seems they will pursue Hardy. I think that all along a Hardy deal hinged on Demarco and a ruling by the league on possible punishment.
Not sad we missed on Murray. Plenty of solid options in the draft.

Why would the Eagles want him when they just signed Matthews?
Quote:Unless it's the Patriots. If the Patriots offer you anything you think long and hard on that deal, because no one wins in trades against them.


This may be the truest comment on this board!!

I was leaning more towards getting Murray because I think we would have pushed harder for Gipson if we got him. Just me though lol

 

GO JAGS!!

Lol chip jelly just wants all the rbs so Dallas doesnt have any options lol "This just in, the Eagles have signed Murray and AP"
Quote:From what Caldwell said at his presser, it didn't seem like the Jags were pursuing him that hard either.
 

I got the impression they gave him their best, highest offer and left it at that.  Since it sounds like no one, even the highest bidder (Oak) were as high as he was looking for.

 

I wouldn't say that's not pursuing hard.  It's going as far as you're willing to go.

 

The bids are in, and Murray isn't pulling his "reserve price."

 

So the car goes unsold.

I have the feeling his NFL coaching career is going to crash and burn like Spurrier.
