NFL via Getty Images(PHILADELPHIA) — The NFL’s leading rusher in 2014, DeMarco Murray, is set to join the Philadelphia Eagles, according to ESPN Insiders Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen.
Murray is expected to sign a five-year, $42 million deal, including $21 million guaranteed.
The Cowboys, now Murray’s former team, were believed to have offered him a contract worth approximately $6 million per year on average, according to sources who spoke to ESPN’s Ed Werder. Murray told teams this week he was seeking $8-10 million annually with $20-25 million guaranteed.
Werder’s source said the Eagles’ final offer was “considerably ahead of the Cowboys’ on all fronts,” including guaranteed money, average salary and incentives.
Murray had 1,845 rushing yards on 392 attempts in 2014, both of which led the NFL.
