DeMarco Murray's Philadelphia future is up in the air after NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport broke the news Thursday that the Eagles and the veteran running back appear to be headed for stare-down this offseason.

The team's new regime is not confident that Murray can recapture dominant 2014 Offensive Player of the Year form after a career-worst season in 2015.

It's not a one-sided issue. Murray still has doubts about his role on the field and with the organization. If the situation deteriorates to the point where Murray is eventually released, Rapoport reported the Cowboys, Seahawks and Raiders could be among his most ardent suitors.

Not long after Rapoport's story went live, former Cowboys teammate Dez Bryant took to Twitter for a recruiting pitch:

@JasonWitten @tonyromo @DeMarcoMurray come on home https://t.co/06hHKWBJ87 #cowboys
— Dez Bryant (@DezBryant) February 4, 2016

Murray is currently building a house in Dallas. If he becomes available for the right price, perhaps the Cowboys would entertain a reunion.
