The Eagles are "finalizing" a trade that will send DeMarco Murray to the Titans when the NFL's new league year opens Wednesday afternoon.

What a disaster Chip Kelly made in Philly. I have no idea how he was able to land another Head Coaching job.

Packers interested in Matt Forte per Adam Schefter.

Julius Peppers is apparently personally lobbying Forte for his services.

If Forte signs with GB, that makes them a scary team. They were good with no running game...

Source: The #Raiders will sign LB Bruce Irvin when the league year starts tomorrow. Out of nowhere.

He wouldn't be able to displace Lacy. Lacy has consistantly topped Forte in ground production since he has been in the league. Even last year for all the crap he gets, he still topped Forte's career YPC.

Forte would be a great change of pace, and an upgrade of a replacement for Starks.

Quite honestly, I don't understand your comment, the Packers run game wasn't in any way lacking last year, for most of the year it was ranked higher then the pass.

Shefters colleague, Ed Werder also reports the Packers have expressed interest in Martellus Bennett.

Keep in mind McCarthy made it a point to tell the media, "We might shock you all in Free agency this year".

The Packers are currently 8th in the league in adjusted cap room, according to the NFLPA.

Good freaking Lord.
When Janoris Jenkins signs with the #Giants, it'll be worth more than $12M per year. Huge investment.
