The Eagles have said they plan on asking for quarterback Carson Wentz’s opinion when it comes to some personnel decisions this offseason.
Could the below photos be a sign of things to come?
Wentz, who is currently out in California working out, recently hung out with teammate Nelson Agholor and soon-to-be free agent running back Latavius Murray, both of whom have their future up in the air this offseason.
Let’s start with Murray.
Murray, 27-years old, finished last season with 788 yards and 12 touchdowns for the Oakland Raiders, and has totaled 2,278 yards and 20 touchdowns in this three seasons with the team. Murray has only missed three games in three seasons.
The 6-foot-3, 230 pound running back is averaging 4.0 yards on his 543 career carries. His average has dropped, however, each of the past three seasons.
Here is the Eagles’ ideal roster
At this point it is unclear if Murray will hit the free agency market, or if he will strike a new deal with the Oakland Raiders. Murray shares an agent with Wentz.
The Eagles have a need at running back, and Murray would be a very solid option for them, as he is young, has a proven track record and would give them a big back, something they lacked last season.
“im just here to help”
Wentz working out with Agholor is also interesting.
Agholor had a very disappointing season for the Eagles last season, finishing with just 36 catches for 365 yards and two touchdowns. He was one of the least productive starting wide receivers in the NFL and had to be benched for one game.
Despite his struggles, however, Agholor would cost more to cut ($4.6 million) than to keep ($2.5 million), giving the Eagles an incentive to keep him. It is possible the Eagles could find a trade partner for Agholor, but at this point it is hard to see the Eagles getting fair value for the former No. 20 overall pick.
Could Wentz, Agholor and Murray all be teammates next season?
If Wentz wants it to happen, you have to think the Eagles will do their best to grant his wish.
