Report: DeMarco Murray, Eagles have 'mutual interest'

DeMarco Murray erased his affiliation with the Dallas Cowboys Tuesday on Twitter.


According to Adam Scheffer, it has something to do with the fact the Cowboys haven't called him since last week.


But one team that is calling? Their NFC East foe Philadelphia Eagles.


According Adam Caplan of ESPN and confirmed by Pro Football Talk, the two parties have "mutual interest."


The Eagles need a running back after (alledgedly) failing to acquire Frank Gore and trading LeSean McCoy, and Murray needs money.


They appear to be in the market for an elite quarterback after trading Nick Folse for Sam Bradford. (Though maybe Chip Kelly is going to make it work with injury-prone Bradford)


Eagles defensive back Malcolm Jenkins is already recruiting Murray.


A move to an NFC East rival will certainly make things a little bitter between the Joneses and McCoy.


But nothing is official yet. Murray is also reportedly in the conversation for the Jaguars, Bucs and Raiders.


But then again, Jerry Jones doesn't seem like the type of man that likes to lose.


FOX Sports' Peter Schrager is reporting the Cowboys are still the favorite to land Murray.

I would be happy with Murray or Forsett......

He also is visiting Jaguars. He is the cherry on the cake. Whoever signs him deserves him. Overated and overpaid. I would love to break his femur

he would be stupid to go to the eagles imo, he will still be a cowboy when it said and done
