Murray has been unhappy with the Eagles ever since the beginning of the 2015 season. Things were a disaster from the start as Murray rushed for a mere 11 yards in his first two games in Philly. He only posted one 100-yard game. By the end of the season, he was lucky to receive more than 10 carries in a game.
Philly is also doing a lot of work to undo much of former head coach and GM Chip Kelly’s roster construction. Not only are they trading Murray, who was signed to a big contract by Kelly, but they also traded Kiko Alonso and Byron Maxwell to Miami.
