Matthews hasn't signrd his contract so if they sign murray either side can still back out. Matthews and tbe Eagles have only "agreed" to a deal.
Also, Murray said he will consider a last minute from the Cowboys. I'm guessing he's using the Eagles to get dallas to match their price. If dallas doesn't budge he will most likely sign with philly.

The way I saw the story unfolding yesterday had Mathews agreeing to a deal and got on a flight for Philly. During the time he would be in the air, stories came in of Murray trying to sell himself on the Eagles. Naturally the Eagles say yeah let's talk.
I imagine Mathews lands, hears the news and is all "wtf Chip?"
I don't blame him waiting to see what happens today.

Schefter reporting Mathews still signs with PHI even after Murray.
Huh? What does integrity have with making bad personal decisions?
If he has been signed, which I am still trying to confirm, then you will see Sproles dealt or cut, and then see Mathews take that role, which is actually a better role for him, plus you have a solid replacement if Murray misses time.
Okay lets get caught up from yesterday....
Jets fix secondary by signing Cb Cromartie and S Gilchrist
Brandon Browner signs with Saints
Orakpo is going to Tennessee
Nate Allen to Raiders
Justin Forsett stays with Baltimore
Jordan Cameron signs with Miami - insurance for loss of Clay??
Akeem Ayers to Rams - wow I like what Rams have done so far this off-season....
Terrance Knighton to Redskins
Again, alot of movement, but I still have not seen confirmation of Matthews

From Rotoworld:
Eagles signed RB Ryan Mathews, formerly of the Chargers, to a three-year, $11.5 million contract.
Despite a pricey investment into DeMarco Murray, the Eagles kept Mathews at their facility and convinced him to stay, likely as the 1b to Murray's 1a. We don't see either addition affecting Darren Sproles; Sproles is a specialized role player who can't be replaced by Murray or Mathews. The Eagles are very likely planning to become a smashmouth power-based team whose foundation is the running game. Mathews has been brittle throughout his career, but is among the most naturally gifted inside runners in football. In Chip Kelly's high-volume, up-tempo offense, we wouldn't be surprised if Mathews carved out sporadic low-end RB2/flex fantasy value behind locked-in RB1 Murray. 32-year-old Sproles' usage shouldn't change much after a 97-touch season.

Word I hear is that Buffalo doesn't intend to present Clay with an offer sheet until tomorrow, at which point the Phins have 5 days to match it. Both Wallace and Ellerbe (ugh) have been in negotiations to rework their contracts to be more cap friendly. Dolphins are going to try to keep Clay.
I'm kinda digging this front office.

I have also heard they are still negotiating with Clay on a long term deal.
Bwahahahaha
The Cowboys have lost their minds.

It makes me giggle. I live in Austin now and having to hear Cowboys talk shit about my Dolphins is wearing thin. At least I have this ammunition.
