Free agent running back DeMarco Murray called his own number and phoned Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly to set up a visit Thursday in response to the Dallas Cowboys failing to meet his contract demands.

Murray led the NFL in rushing last season and was named Offensive Player of the Year. He had 1,854 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns. He also caught 57 passes and, including the postseason, had 511 total touches.

The Eagles traded featured back LeSean McCoy to the Buffalo Bills and have an agreement in place with Ryan Mathews, a free agent from the San Diego Chargers. That deal could be in peril if Murray and the Eagles find a match.

The Cowboys offered Murray a four-year, $16 million deal in January. Murray reportedly envisions himself as a $9 million-per-year back. According to NFL Network, the Cowboys have come up to $6 million per season plus incentives.

The Jaguars and Raiders are also interested in Murray.

Murray was a college roommate of new Eagles quarterback Sam Bradford, who said Wednesday he would do anything he could to get his Oklahoma teammate to Philadelphia.

Running behind one of the best offensive lines in the NFL, Murray averaged 4.7 yards per carry in 2014 and played through a broken finger that required surgery.

The Eagles were dogged by injuries, and started 10 different offensive line combinations last season while also juggling quarterbacks after Nick Foles — traded Tuesday to St. Louis for Bradford — went down for the season with a broken collarbone.

McCoy, who led the NFL in rushing in 2013 (314 carries, 1,607 yards, nine touchdowns), Chip Kelly’s first season with the Eagles, had 312 carries for 1,319 yards and five touchdowns last season.

In Dallas, Murray was the clear No. 1 back and his backups were largely unsuccessful lightening his workload.

He wouldn’t be carrying the entire load for the Eagles. Philadelphia still has Darren Sproles on the roster and Kelly has been high on Chris Polk. There is also still a possibility Mathews’ deal is signed (three year, $12 million).
