Murray is visiting Philadelphia today. His wife and agent are reportedly with him. Eagles head coach Chip Kelly canceled a flight he planned in order to have the team jet pick up Murray (and co.) instead.
Earlier on Thursday, Schefter reported that Murray intends to sign with Philadelphia. So this hardly comes as a surprise.
The expected signing of Murray doesn't necessarily mean Ryan Mathews will leave Philadelphia. According to a report, Chip Kelly wants both Murray AND Mathews.
Stay tuned for more updates.
