Murray to retire. Open to ESPN job

when the rookie came in for Tashard Choice

Great play, if you notice it worked primary cause Dez was being doubled.

We score TDs and Garrett doesn't clap. lol

 

[Melonfeud]

LMAO!! No but I am now!

 

[SoupcanSam]

I'm sure all that money he made with the Eagles and Titans has made him very sad that he didn't stay in Dallas for our one season we made the divisional round without him...

Maybe

 

[thisiscowboyscountry]

Well I guess we made the right move not resigning him. With that said I enjoyed watching him while he was here and had an exciting few seasons. Congratulations on a solid career and thanks for your contributions to the Cowboys.

The NFL career truly is a short one

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Should have stayed with Dallas instead of being greedy and he would have had a better career.

I disagree. He proved he didn't need the Dallas offensive line to succeed by leaving.

what? He was terrible in 2015 behind a patchy and oft-injured 2015 Eagles offensive line who was made worse by Kelly's system which forced them to run laterally and try to man block instead of zone block which are the strength of Kelce, lane johnson.

 

[DandyDon52]

Those 436 attempts in 2014 season, used him up...

not really, he was in great shape the next season, he was just on a crappy team, with crappy OL and ol chip calling plays.

That was 4 years ago, so he had 3 good years left in him.

I liked Murray, so hope he gets a tv job.

 

[kevm3]

Great for him. No need to disable yourself for life. I'm not mad at him for going to another team either. At the end of the day, he has to have something to show for the beating his body endured once the game is over.

Except he also played for the Titans. He didn't retire in 2015.

Had a quality year in 2016 behind another very good run blocking offensive line. They just wanted to go younger and more powerful up the middle with Henry.

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

Great...now I can wear his jersey again...

Hard to forgive him for seeking out the Eagles. Any other team, I wouldn't have had a problem with him, but seeking out the Eagles is like an unforgivable sin.

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

He's barely in the top-10 in my book when it comes to all-time great Cowboy RB's.

Besides the obvious four running backs, out of curiosity, what Cowboy's running backs were better than him?

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

I have no problems with him going to another team to get his payday, if the Cowboys didn't want to meet his payday. Geez and at the time people were debating him or Dez, since we couldn't keep both. I would say that maybe we choose the wrong man, but with hindsight, if we would've kept Murray we wouldn't have drafted Zeek, so it was the right choice. The problem I have with Murray though is that he called Chip, instead of the Eagles calling him, and reportedly the Raiders had a better offer.

ya,I know ,I'd of loved to have gotten some better mileage outta' that flash in the pan feller, #82.

when the rookie came in for Tashard Choice

RIP delayed draw

 

[ShortRound]

I believe you gotta speak to be an analyst you can't just clap for the entire show.

Garrett "Hold my beer"

 

[JustChip]

Too bad the Cowboys burn this bridge. I'll take him over any RB on our current roster except Zeke.

Really?

"Injuries, however, cropped back up in 2017. The nagging issues once again relegated Murray to a plodding back. He averaged 3.6 yards per carry and a career-low 659 yards in 15 games last year. He was released earlier this offseason".

One of the injuries was to an MCL in the last game of the year and he was/is still rehabbing it.....

"I just woke up a couple weeks ago and it started to burn and burn and trigger and it got deeper so this morning I decided to call it a career."

The problem I have with Murray though is that he called Chip, instead of the Eagles calling him, and reportedly the Raiders had a better offer.

He also had a former teammate, Sam Bradford, lobbying him on coming to Philly. That probably swayed him going there instead of elsewhere, not some Dez-like animosity for the Cowboys.
