So they cut their second best OL.

And they will now be forced to start Dennis Kelly or Allen Barbre.

Jason Peters: Eagles’ offensive line is better than Cowboys’ offensive line

Posted by Michael David Smith on June 11, 2015, 6:49 PM EDT


Eagles tackle Jason Peters says running back DeMarco Murray will have even more success this season than last season, because he’s playing behind a better offensive line.

Although Murray led the NFL in rushing last season behind what was widely regarded as the best offensive line in the NFL in Dallas, Peters says now that Murray is with the Eagles, he’s running behind an even better offensive line.

“He was the rushing champ last year. He almost broke the record. For him to come here and not duplicate that, that would discredit us a little bit with the Dallas offensive line. We’ve got to make sure he gets his yards,” Peters said. “That’s a big challenge. The Dallas offensive line is good. We’re just better. We’re going to make sure he gets his yards.”

Peters made those comments before the Eagles cut Pro Bowl guard Evan Mathis. But even before Mathis was cut, few would agree with Peters. Murray deserves credit for the season he had last year, but the Cowboys’ offensive line deserves a lot of the credit as well. And it’s hard to believe Murray will lead the league in rushing again this year in Philadelphia.

Damn, these guys never stop making outlandish statements.

Sounds like a lot of false bravado.

So, he stinks up the draft twice, causes the GM to have his nuts cut off, dumps almost every talented player on the team, trades for a LB with exploding knees, overpays for a RB with injury and fumbling issues in free agency, and now cuts its second best offensive lineman when his unit is already subpar.

Oh, and he signed Tebow. :lol

And I'm not even including his desire to trade his two best defensive players in Kendricks and Cox.

It's definitely a fun thing to watch.

I just don't get why the Eagles hated this guy so much. They've been trying to get rid of him and he is one of their best O-lineman. Makes no sense to me.

No way I'd sign Mathis. Turning 34 and wants big money. Not good enough to be worth it.
