Well, here is a link to that story about Murray wanting to come to Philly, despite Mathews' signing:

Chris Mortenson, ESPN
League rushing champion DeMarco Murray personally reached out to Philadelphia Eagles coach Chip Kelly on Wednesday morning, expressing his desire to play in Kelly's spread offense and with former Oklahoma roommate and quarterback Sam Bradford, according to league and team sources.
Murray's call was enough to jump-start tepid interest from the Eagles, despite their signing of former Chargers running back Ryan Mathews.
The obstacle for Murray signing with the Eagles still would be money, a source said, as Kelly has made it publicly and privately clear the team will be financially prudent in their personnel decisions.
During his discussion with Kelly, a source said Murray characterized Bradford, who was acquired by the Eagles from the Rams on Tuesday, as one of his best friends. Both operated successfully out of Oklahoma's spread offense when they were teammates from 2007-09. Murray also played the 2010 season at Oklahoma after Bradford moved on to the NFL.
Of course, Murray just won the rushing title in 2014 for the Cowboys running behind one of the best offensive lines in the league.
The Cowboys are still monitoring Murray's market in free agency and would like to re-sign him.

Yes we will face a lot of 10 in the box, I think however Chip is going to address receiver once again in the draft. Who knows maybe he is working on a deal for a receiver from another team.Were from Philly F in Philly no one likes us we DON'T CARE!

Too bad that we signed Mathews
Sources: DeMarco Murray reaches out to Chip Kelly
League-rushing champion DeMarco Murray personally reached out to Philadelphia Eagles coach Chip Kelly on Wednesday morning, expressing his desire to play in Kelly's spread offense and with former Oklahoma roommate and quarterback Sam Bradford, Chris Mortensen of ESPN reports. This according to league and team sources.
Murray's call was enough to jump-start tepid interest from the Eagles, despite their signing of former Chargers running back Ryan Mathews.
The obstacle for Murray signing with the Eagles still would be money, a source said, as Kelly has made it publicly and privately clear the team will be financially prudent in their personnel decisions.
During his discussion with Kelly, a source said Murray characterized Bradford, who was acquired by the Eagles from the Rams on Tuesday, as one of his best friends. Both operated successfully out of Oklahoma's spread offense when they were teammates from 2007-09. Murray also played the 2010 season at Oklahoma after Bradford moved on to the NFL.
"Absolutely. I've been trying my hardest," Bradford said Wednesday of trying to recruit Murray. "I've called him. I've texted him. I've done everything. We've been in communication. If we can somehow land him, it would be a great pickup. Not only is he a great player, he's a great person. He's a really close friend of mine, too. I think he can really help this ball club.""Hey Giants, who's your Daddy?"
