McCoy on Eagles signing Murray: 'I thought it was like a panic move'

Not long after making the surprise move to trade away star running back LeSean McCoy, the Philadelphia Eagles signed the NFL's reigning rushing champion, DeMarco Murray, to take his place.

McCoy, now looking ahead to his fresh start with the Buffalo Bills, admittedly doesn't understand the thought process behind the move from his former team.

"I saw that they originally were trying to get Frank Gore, and he backed out," McCoy said on "The Rich Eisen Show," according to Sheil Kapadia of Philly Magazine. "So then when they got DeMarco and they got Ryan Mathews, I thought it was like a panic move. 

"With that media in Philadelphia, they can get tough on you. So I guess that was just the way to make it right. I don't know. I can't really answer it. They took two backs to replace one. I think DeMarco's a hell of a back. I think he'll do a good job there. I'm not sure how that went."

Of course, McCoy will get his opportunity to show the Eagles what they're missing out on later this year when he and the Bills head to Philadelphia for their regular-season matchup.
