After signing with the Philadelphia Eagles last offseason, running back DeMarco Murray delivered a dismal season with just 702 rushing yards (3.6 yards per game) and six touchdowns over 15 games. He was a poor fit for Chip Kelly‘s offense, but even with a coaching change Murray’s future with the Eagles still looks uncertain.
On the heels of a report from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport that the Eagles will listen to trade offers, here are five teams that could have interest in Murray.
5. Seattle Seahawks

4. Tennessee Titans

The Titans may look to free agency or the draft for another running back, and rightfully so. But with ample cap space, they could just swing a trade and take on Murray's contract as is.
3. Oakland Raiders

2. Dallas Cowboys
Getty ImagesMurray hit free agency off a big 2014 season with the Cowboys (1,845 rushing yards, 13 touchdowns, 57 receptions), and the team never really filled the void last season. A reunion is definitely possible, if Murray's contract can be reworked.
1. Houston Texans
Getty ImagesThe Texans seem likely to release Arian Foster with his injury history, age (30 in August) and $8.9 million salary cap hit as driving forces. Interest in trading for Murray could easily follow, as Houston looks for a new lead back.
