nucci Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) That we gave up an asset for a RB that could have been gotten by getting a similar RB in FA. You're making assumptions that you can never prove. and we get it...you don't like the trade..you made your point Edited March 12, 2015 by nucci Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 I would like to make a bet with you. Can be a signature bet, can be a donation to charity bet but you are extremely wrong on this imo. Just like you were wrong about Kiko and Murray for the same price as Shady. Murray signed a deal for more money even though it was slightly less guaranteed. Add in that he is injury prone, older, and they owe dead for money for Shady this didn't turn out quite as great for the Eagles as you thought. Other things I am willing to bet on: Murray doesn't play all 16 games next year Bradford not only is on the roster for the Eagles but (barring injury) is named the starter Murray is "older" as in 5 months aka they are the same age. He also has 600 less touches than McCoy but that's besides the point. We don't know his contract yet. You can't go by average per as the total value because contracts in the NFL aren't guaranteed so the Eagles might be able to get out of it in 3 yrs for example for cheaper than McCoy's 5 yr deal, we don't know yet. But i do think everyone is shocked to hear how expensive this deal seems to be. Dallas was only going to offer $6M per as per reports. I also agree Murray won't play all 16 games. most RB's in the NFL don't. McCoy won't either if they plan to hand him the ball 25+ times a game. There's no way Chip wants Bradford to be his QB. People were snickering at the press conference at Chip trying to lie about it. He might get stuck with him but it won't be for lack of trying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddaryl Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) so the Eagles might be able to get out of it in 3 yrs for example for cheaper than McCoy's 5 yr deal, we don't know yet. Yes we can. McCoy had no guaranteed money left on his deal with Philly so they could of cut him anytime they wanted without much of a hit, if they were worried about the money. Its also one of the things Buffalo did to make McCoy happy, give him some guaranteed money back on his contract there is no defending Philly's mindset here. They are paying more money for a RB who at best is equal to McCoy Edited March 12, 2015 by ddaryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a Tuel Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Murray is "older" as in 5 months aka they are the same age. He also has 600 less touches than McCoy but that's besides the point.

People were snickering at the press conference at Chip trying to lie about it. He might get stuck with him but it won't be for lack of trying Murray has 600 less touches because he has been injured so often each year. More often than McCoy. It was a huge issue with Murray prior to his career year in 2014. People have short memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Wagon Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Murray begged for a contract from the Cowboys and then signed with a division team that plays them twice when he didn't get it. I don't think he'd have much interest in coming to Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
