I've heard the Raiders would be interested again, in DeMarco Murray at the right price. I.E a low draft pick

On Monday, Eddie Borsilli of SiriusXM reported the Raiders would be interested in trading for running back DeMarco Murray, who is coming off a disappointing first season in Philadelphia. When he signed with the Eagles last March, Oakland was another team rumored to have been pursuing the former Cowboy.

The 2014 NFL rushing leader managed only 702 rushing yards and six touchdowns in 2015. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport has reported multiple times this offseason that Murray is unhappy with the team. The running back has publicly denied those feelings.

Interestingly enough, Rapoport also stated on Monday that Philadelphia would be willing to deal running back Ryan Mathews as well, another player who was signed during last year's offseason.

#Eagles have made it known that it's not just DeMarco Murray who is available, but also Ryan Mathews, as well, for the right price.

In 2015, Mathews picked up 539 rushing yards and 146 receiving yards in 13 games played. He missed time with a concussion and had a groin injury throughout the majority of the year.
