"It was never about the money in any situation," Murray texted ESPN.com's Todd Archer. "If it was the money I could've taken that a long time ago on a very high deal. It's about winning a Super Bowl and being fair."

Murray is expected to sign a five-year, $42 million deal, including $21 million guaranteed, with the Eagles, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen.

Of the $21 million, $18 million is guaranteed for skill and injury.

Murray lead the NFL in rushing last season with 1,845 yards.

Former San Diego Chargers running back Ryan Mathews was expected to sign with the Eagles as well, but that might have changed now that Murray is expected to land in Philadelphia.
