DeMarco Murray top choice is #Eagles. The #Raiders & #Jaguars trail. NFL source doesn't believe Jacksonville has or will offer a big deal.

I'm going to be pissed if signing Mathews ends up being the reason the Eagles don't get Murray. I just don't see how the cap situation makes it work. The Eagles are currently projected with $10M in cap space after all their recent moves. Add the $6M for draft picks and that leaves them with $4M for Murray unless they start restructuring deals or cutting guys. They've said they're keeping DeMeco Ryans and his $6.9M cap hit (which is absurd), so the only other guy they could cut and save money on is Celek and his $4.8M cap hit, but he's their only blocking TE on the roster at the moment.
