14-2 because of their defense.

They will be an offensive juggernaut and score more points than Shizzo at a roadside DUI checkpoint

Should be interesting to see how Murray does in Philly.

He's a solid runner but his quarterback, top wide receiver and offensive line in Philly are all significant downgrades to what he had in Dallas.

I'm guessing he rushes for about 1200 yards and catches 30 or 40 balls.

As far as coming close to what he accomplished last year? Forget about it.

Alot of Murray's success came from running behind that offensive line...2 All-Pros and another All-Star

The Cowboy's back up running back (Randle) averaged about 7 yards a carry last year.

Not saying Murray isn't solid but I agree...I don't know if he is any better than McCoy.

I don't get the media love for Bradford.  They talk about him like he's an MVP candidate yet the fucker's been injured and barely played his entire career.

Report: Cowboys agree to two-year deal with Darren McFadden

One day after losing DeMarco Murray, the Cowboys are reportedly set to add a veteran option in the backfield.

Dallas has agreed to a two-year contract with Raiders running back Darren McFadden, Charean Williams of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported Friday. The deal, as Williams noted, is contingent on McFadden passing a physical.

The 27-year-old McFadden rushed for 534 yards on 155 carries a season ago for Oakland, also catching 36 passes for 212 yards. The Raiders’ first-round pick in 2008, McFadden has dealt with nagging injuries throughout his career, and he has not even averaged 3.5 yards per carry in the last three seasons.

However, at this stage of the offseason, McFadden is an interesting addition for Dallas. For starters, the Cowboys have an outstanding offensive line. Also, McFadden has had relatively little wear-and-tear (1,249 career touches).

Finally, there is the Arkansas connection. McFadden, like ex-Cowboys tailback Felix Jones, starred in a loaded Razorbacks backfield. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and COO Stephen Jones both played at Arkansas, so here is a potential signing sure to please the Cowboys’ first family.

But can McFadden recapture his early-career form? Dallas looks like it will pay to find out. After losing Murray, it’s a logical gamble.

It's a decent gamble. Low pay...McFadden ran a 4.3 out of college, low wear and tear over his career.

It's looking the Cowboys will be going running back by committee and probably go all out defense with free agency/draft and probably draft another running back in a later round.

I know Seattle lost a couple of key defensive pieces but with the addition of Jimmy Graham, i suspect that will only help Marshawn as teams can't stack the box on him as often without the risk of getting chewed up by Graham. The NFC champion is going to have to go through the Seahawks and right now that will be no easy task. DeMarco was huge but Philly still have work to do.

After the Demarco signing, is Stephen A Smith still calling Chip Kelly a racist? What a fucking hebrew douche.

Post by: Jizmonkey on March 13, 2015, 09:29:16 AM
I am an Eagles superfan, and have been for many years. Please direct any questions towards me. :)

They still need a safety, Guard(or 2) and a wide receiver. Chip said they will look to the draft a receiver, and hopefully they can draft Safety Landon Collins with their 20th pick in the draft. Mariotta won't fall to #20, I think he goes to the Jets. Rumours right now is that left guard Evan Mathis is on the trading block. He was at times last year, and I believe he wants more money again. He is 34 years old and Chip prob wants to get something for him while he still has value.

I guess you can't totally rule out trading up for Mariotta, but it's unlikely. And please don't jinx them by calling them Superbowl champions. They are not in the same league as the truley elite teams yet. It really all depends on how Bradford plays/stays healthy. I can't stand Sanchez.

I've never seen a team pick up two high profile Running backs in Free Agency.  Wonder what Chip Kelly is up to.  I guess he knows its a long season and most running backs are beat by the time the season ends, so split the duty?

Bradford though, fuck, he's useless.

Adrian Peterson is still under contract w/ the Vikings. If Jerry Jones wasn't willing to ante up & keep Murray, it's hard to envision the Cowboys are going to pay AP what he's owed on his current contract & he's owed over $12 million for this upcoming season, over $14 million in '16 & over $16 million in '17. As great as AP is, that's a ton of money for a RB who's about to turn 30 later this month.

McFadden is only guaranteed 200k...If he doesn't pan out you cut him in the preseason with little financial repercussions.

Supposedly it's a deep draft with running backs so they should be able to land someone decent in the first 2 rounds.

I think Jerry is starting to take more of a back seat and his son Stephen Jones is kind of taking over.

I don't think you'll be seeing them over extending to sign free agents with big dollars like before. Stephen seems to be more fiscally conservative than his dad in that sense.

Fixed. One year away from football and turning 30 in 2015. He's no longer the best any more. Marshawn Lynch is far and away the best in the NFL until his production proves otherwise.

Reggie Bush bound for 49ers

Reggie Bush is set to return to California.

The San Diego native and former USC star running back has reached agreement with the San Francisco 49ers, sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter on Saturday.

The 49ers will be Reggie Bush's fourth NFL team, following stints with the Saints, Dolphins and Lions.

The Detroit Lions released Bush in February, saving $1.7 million in salary cap space.

Bush, who turned 30 on March 2, signed a four-year deal with the Lions in 2013 and was a 1,000-yard rusher for Detroit in his first season with the club. Bush couldn't stay healthy in 2014, though, dealing with a lingering ankle injury that started in Week 5 against Buffalo and never completely healed.

He played in 11 games last season with only 76 carries for 297 yards and two touchdowns. He also had 40 receptions for 253 yards. Bush continually tried to come back throughout the season but kept getting reinjured.

Bush was drafted by the New Orleans Saints with the No. 2 pick in the 2006 draft. Although he was a productive player when healthy and won the 2010 Super Bowl with the Saints, he never fully lived up to lofty expectations in New Orleans after a dazzling college career with the Trojans. He won the 2005 Heisman Trophy, but later voluntarily returned it after USC was sanctioned for NCAA violations during his time in college.

Bush played five seasons for the Saints, scoring 33 touchdowns in 60 games, before he moved on to the Miami Dolphins in 2011. He rushed for a total of 2,072 yards and scored 15 TDs over two seasons in Miami before joining the Lions in 2013.

Disagree. If AP comes back even at 85% of what he was he is still the best as he was so clearly above every other running back in the league just a few years ago. I think a lot are forgetting just how great he was. He's never had a quarterback (except favre for about the one good year favre had left).

I admit there is no real way of determining how the year off of football will effect him but to me he is the type of running back that just hitting that 30 number won't have an effect on.

Disagree. If AP comes back even at 85% of what he was he is still the best as he was so clearly above every other running back in the league just a few years ago. I think a lot are forgetting just how great he was. He's never had a quarterback (except favre for about the one good year favre had left).

I admit there is no real way of determining how the year off of football will effect him but to me he is the type of running back that just hitting that 30 number won't have an effect on.

I'm not even putting the age of 30 as a benchmark. It can happen to a running back in the mid 20's. The ability literally can disappear in one offseason. Depends how much work that RB got in college and what style a runner they are. How many carries before they became pro, how physical their running style is, etc.

Ray Rice and Laurence Moroney, and Felix Jones prime examples. And those guys were young when their talent fell off a cliff. Granted, not on AP's level talent-wise. AP's special for sure but I'm betting against him coming back dominating after a year away from football. My opinion is based mainly on my dislike for his personal character. And I base that on the FACTS that have been verified about him.

Same thing will show on Ray Rice. He'll catch on with a team but don't be surprised if he doesn't make an NFL roster after training camp ends.

Marshawn Lynch is the man right now. And the best in the NFL, presently. That being said, running back is very unforgiving position on the NFL level.

with that O line, you could plug in Phil Heath at RB and it'd work.

Phil could rush through the narrowest holes.
