It's been floated on Twitter but Philly beat writers are refusing to confirm it. Per Adam Caplan, Eagles and DeMarco Murray have "mutual interest."

You'll never hear me say anything negative about Trent Cole. One of my all-time favourite Eagles. He was cut for cap reasons. Interesting that he went to another team that plays a 3-4 though.

The NFL Network posted a graphic saying the teams swapped pics. Now it's sort of in a grey area and they're still working it out. No way in hell would I make that trade without the swap if I'm the Eagles. It's funny but the swap or no swap really is the difference between a good trade and a terrible trade.

I don't know, I'd probably give him the guaranteed money.....

I’m told Revis wants $40 mil guaranteed over 3 years and the #Patriots balked at the full guarantee
...especially with the Bills now involved....

Well, this is interesting: Bills also expressing interest in free-agent CB Darrelle Revis, per sources. Rex does love his CBs...

Murray also rumoured to Raiders and Jags.

Albert Breer ‏@AlbertBreer 4m4 minutes ago
Benefit of bringing in a DeMarco Murray for Jags or Raiders would be twofold. Helps solve minimum-spend issue. Takes heat off young QBs.

Revis's reps have told teams they have $48M for 3yrs on the table now, with $40M guaranteed. My sense if that is from the Jets...

Jason La Canfora @JasonLaCanfora · 14 mins 14 minutes ago
We'll see if any one else trumps that. Patriots had been in the mid-30s in terms of guaranteed money. KC has been in it as well.

My heart.... If the Foles/Bradford swap also includes swapping 1sts I'll be ecstatic

It would be fun if the Saints traded Jimmy Graham to give Jairus Byrd more money somehow.

Per Schefter:

Eagles acquire QB Sam Bradford and 5th round draft pick in 2015 from Rams for QB Nick Foles, 4th round pick in 2015 and 2nd round pick in 2016.

Absolutely brutal trade for the Eagles.

#Eagles acquire QB Sam Bradford and 5th round draft pick in 2015 from Rams for QB Nick Foles, 4th rd pick in 2015 and 2nd rd pick in 2016.

The Eagles are GIVING UP A 2ND ROUND PICK?! hahahaha

Appreciate the response, thanks.

Man this free agency has been the most insane that I can remember in a long long time.

Still some names out there. Interestrd to see where the rest go.

Raiders have put in a big offer for DeMarco Murray.

Just an absolutely terrible move. No positive way to spin it. Oh wait, apparently the 2016 pick is conditional on if Bradford starts six or more games for the Eagles this year. So basically we'll be having an open QB competition this summer between Mark Sanchez and Sam Bradford.

Patriots sign former Dolphins WR Brandon Gibson.

Colts closing in on a deal for former Rams DT Kendall Langford.

Jim Rome said it best earlier today...

he said " I dont dislike what Kelley is doing in Philly because I dont know what Kelley is doing in Philly"

Bizarre series of moves for sure.....he could be an evil genius though!

The second round pick is apparently conditional on Bradford being the starter this season. "The starter" has not been clearly defined yet.

It seems that one of the inherent risks of hiring college coaches is they lack any sort of humility because, if they fail at the pro level, there's always a big paycheck awaiting them back in college.
