After just one season with the Philadelphia Eagles, DeMarco Murray will be traded to the Tennessee Titans this week, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. After signing a lucrative five-year, $42 million deal with the Eagles in 2015, Murray was never able to find his place in former head coach Chip Kelly’s system and got demoted to … Read more
The Eagles and veteran tight end Brent Celek have agreed to a three-year, $13 million contract, according to ESPN reporter Adam Caplan.

Yesterday, the Eagles held an introductory press conference for their new head coach Doug Pederson. Eagles offensive lineman Jason Kelce showed up at the press conference, and Philadelphia sports talk radio host Josh Innes of 94WIP didn’t like it for some reason.

It’s only been a little more than two weeks since the Philadelphia Eagles released head coach Chip Kelly (possibly in part due to him ruining the team’s holiday party), and already the high-tempo offensively-minded former Oregon Duck has found a new home.

Seems like DeMarco Murray probably should’ve thought about this before signing with the Eagles back in March, but what’s done is done.

Remember when Eagles cornerback Byron Maxwell guaranteed that his team would make it to the Super Bowl this season? HAHAHA. How’s that prediction working out for him?
