I’ll go on the record right now and say the Philadelphia Eagles will run a lot of teams out of the building if their running backs can stay healthy.
Ian Rapoport is reporting that Ryan Mathews still plans to sign his contract with the Eagles as well. There was speculation as to if Mathews would still sign after the emergence of DeMarco Murray.

Several reports have now surfaced, confirming that Mathews is on the books for three-years and $12 million.
Eagles sign RB Ryan Mathews to a three-year contract and officially sign CB Walter Thurmond to a one-year contract.
