NFL free agency started less than 48 hours ago, but teams already look completely different! The craziness continued today with more players signing new contracts in new cities.
Andre Johnson has long been the face of the Houston Texans. Sadly, the team was never really too good and he never got a chance to experience a Super Bowl. After being released by the team earlier, he agreed on a new deal with a young team hungry for the same experience. Johnson tweeted that he is the newest member of the Indianapolis Colts; a pretty big upgrade in quarterback! A new three year deal for the veteran receiver who will be paired with TY Hilton, a real one-two punch for defensive backs.
Who would have thought last season’s rushing leader DeMarco Murray would be one of the only running backs without a deal? Murray and the Cowboys have not been able to come to an agreement, with the Cowboys lowballing the running back. Not many other teams have stepped forward with interest in Murray. One team that has however, is the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles traded LeSean McCoy and are in need of a star running back. Murray has been rumored to also have interest in signing with his former division rival. As if the Cowboys-Eagles games needed more drama, imagine Murray’s first game back to Jerry World! Murray has not made a decision yet, but rumors are swirling that he will decide tonight.
