DeMarco Murray says he isn't looking to leave Eagles

— -- Amid public speculation that his future with the Philadelphia Eagles might be in trouble and a tweet from former Cowboys teammate Dez Bryant asking him to "come on home," running back DeMarco Murray said he isn't looking to leave the team.

"No. I'm signed there for the next four years," Murray told Hannah Storm on SportsCenter. "I don't know where that story is coming from. It's a little crazy. Every week I feel like there's something new. It's a little weird. I can't worry about what people are saying. I'll just continue to work hard. I'm signed for four years and I'm committed."

Murray, who had an up-and-down season in Philadelphia after being one of the team's key offseason acquisitions, made his remarks after a report surfaced that he wasn't happy with his situation and could try to force a trade. A source told ESPN that the reports are "much ado about nothing."

Adding fuel to the speculation, Bryant, who played with Murray in Dallas from 2011 to 2014, sent out a tweet Thursday.

Murray told PFT Live that it was "hard to get comfortable" in former coach Chip Kelly's scheme, but he said the perception of his problems with Kelly was "blown out of proportion" over the course of the season. Kelly was fired as head coach in December.

Murray said he has spoken to new Eagles coach Doug Pederson and expects a "more conventional" offensive scheme in 2016.

Murray signed a five-year, $42 million contract with the Eagles in March. He won the NFL rushing title as a member of the Cowboys in the 2014 season, with 1,845 yards and 13 touchdowns on 392 carries, but dropped to 702 yards and six touchdowns on 193 carries in his first season in Philadelphia.
