The Dallas Cowboys let DeMarco Murray leave in free agency in part because they knew he was overworked last season, and they feared he would not be able to match his excellent production in the future. Chip Kelly convinced the Philadelphia Eagles to sign Murray to a big-money deal, indicating he believes the back will remain productive for the future. Still, the Eagles head coach/GM appears to share Dallas’ concern.
In an interview with The Monday Morning Quarterback’s Peter King, Kelly acknowledged some pause about Murray’s 447 regular season touches last year with the Cowboys.
“I think there is a lot of validity to it,” Kelly told King.
