DeMarco Murray was determined to get a big-time deal in free agency.

He just had to leave Dallas to get it.

According to Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen of ESPN (sharing is good), the Eagles are giving the league’s leading rusher a five-year deal worth $42 million, with $21 million guaranteed.

The structure will show how good of a deal it was, but it’s clear the Cowboys weren’t approaching those kind of numbers, as Murray hinted at a hometown discount.

So now he has a new hometown.
