All four teams need a running back like DeMarco Murray. The Philadelphia Eagles made waves when they traded away their best player, running back LeSean McCoy to the Buffalo Bills for linebacker Kiko Alonso, leaving an opening for a free agent. The Eagles traded quarterback Nick Foles to St. Louis for Sam Bradford, who is actively recruiting Murray to come to his new team.
Sam Bradford says he's been calling and texting DeMarco Murray trying to get him to come to Philly with him.
