NFL Notes: Jason Pierre-Paul, Eagles, & Rams

Jason Pierre-Paul

• ESPN’s Ed Werder reports that Giants DE Jason Pierre-Paul won’t sign his franchise tender until he can pass a physical that would prevent the team from placing him on the non-football injury list.

Eagles

An anonymous NFL executive tells Mark Eckel of NJ.com that he would take former Eagles RB LeSean McCoy over free agent addition DeMarco Murray because of the fear he put into opposing defenses.

“I’ll take McCoy over Murray every time,” said the executive. “When you played the Eagles, you feared McCoy. He was the guy who scared you the most. When you played Dallas, you didn’t fear Murray. He’s good. But you didn’t fear him. You feared Dez (Bryant), or (Tony) Romo, but not Murray.

“Don’t get me wrong, Murray is good and he had a great year last year. But McCoy is a game breaker. He can turn a game around with one big run,’‘ the executive said.

Rams

• Nick Wagoner suggests the Rams could consider signing QB Nick Foles to a four-year contract worth between $12 million and $14 million per season and around $20 million in “true” guarantees.
• Wagoner has been told that it’s currently unclear how far the Rams are willing to extend themselves for a deal with Foles, and it remains to be seen whether Foles even wants to sign a new deal.
