DeMarco Murray is unhappy with the Philadelphia Eagles even after Chip Kelly was fired, and he would apparently like to be traded this offseason.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that teams are aware of Murray’s desire to get out of Philly. While trading the 28-year-old running back’s hefty contract will be difficult, the Eagles are willing to listen.
The message teams are receiving this week: DeMarco Murray still not happy in Philly. Trading him will be difficult, but #Eagles will listen.

As we have heard all along, Murray would reportedly love to return to the Dallas Cowboys.
DeMarco Murray's affinity for DAL is evident. So is his $13M cap hit for #Eagles. Plenty to work out. Teams know his situation is unsettled

While it seemed like Murray’s biggest problem last season was playing in Kelly’s offense, his issues with the Eagles obviously run deeper than that. Perhaps the comments we heard from a teammate indicate there are problems in the locker room as well.
If Murray wants to be traded badly enough, he’ll likely have to agree to restructure his contract and take less money with a new team.
