What precedent is there for Jerry allowing one of our premium players leave to join a division rival?

Jerry has an ego, I'll be surprised if he lays down and does what I think is the sensible thing. If he has a say, I can't see him restraining himself from opening his wallet to save face.

I doubt this. Think it would have opposite effect and it would look like he got played by Philly and DMs agent if he dove back in

We just don't know what the FO really thinks about Murray. It seems Garrett is on his side which should mean the Owner is also. But maybe they really do believe losing him wont be much of a loss. I would hope that they have a real backup plan.

Grats Murray, you got your money. Now, get back to nursing injuries and missing games!

Yeah, Roy W. Laid it on him in that game. I remember oh too well.

It was surreal. I cheered for him when they showed him getting introduced and rooted against him during the game. I could never boo him. The Cardinals were not the Eagles though. This one stings.

But it's not a one or the other situation. I don't have a problem with DM walking and not signing AP.

And btw, Murray did have a lot of carries last year, but it wasn't close to 500. By your logic if he had close to 500 then he had close to 285.

I said touches. 496 touches last season. By my logic you are wrong

Regardless of how this ends it is not the best way for the Cowboys to treat one of their most productive players. I am not saying to pay him crazy. I am saying that they didn't handle this thing right. The coach should have to tract the RB down at as Mavs game. The RB shouldn't have to solicit offers from the Eagles. This is a circus and no matter the outcome it wasn't handled right. You didn't see Suh and the Lions do this.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports free agent DeMarco Murray "is expected to" sign with the Eagles.

Which now begs the question of whether Ryan Mathews will back out of his contract. With Murray going to Philly, Mathews will have a much harder time earning built-in incentives. We'll wait to make the Murray deal official until he signs on the dotted line, but the Cowboys appear to be moving on, too. Reports indicate they've begun reaching out to other free agent running backs.

I could live with Forsett, a 3rd rounder like Johnson and remember we still have Ryan Williams. Cut Dunbar and Randle now.

Sources say there is a significant difference in guaranteed money in the offers to DeMarco Murray from Cowboys, Eagles. That's the issue

Exactly. As. Stated in the thread the other day, if you are on the road playing the Gents that game check is taxed for New Jersey.

Then FAs should be considering the states of divisional rivals, as well as their new teams

NFCE is expensive considering the real "East" teams are in high tax locales (WAS-MD/NY anyway).

Question to someone in the know: Ryan Mathews still signing with the Eagles? Answer: "We shall see."

That's the question I have to be asking.

Are they actually sending him packing after they had agreed to terms and he was in the building to sign the contract?

That's low, even for the Eagles...

I think the writing was on the wall about how the FO felt about re-signing Murray when they fed him 390 carries last year. You don't do that to a back you intend to give big $$$ to for the next 3-4 years.

jblaze2004 · Mar 12, 2015

I hope we wasn't waiting on murray to figure out plan B?

Silver N Blue · Mar 12, 2015

Again Schefter confirming on Espn right now he is an eagle boys next target up in the air right now.

Miller · Mar 12, 2015

For those wanting AP..and I'd love it too...but no matter what a beast the guy is there is no way we are going to stand pat of on 27 yr old DM and then throw the money he is owed now in Minny at AP...at 30. No way. Let's concentrate on realities here.

I see your point and agree with most of it BUT... One difference is Suh couldnt WAIT to get outta Detroit... Not so much with DM... He really wanted to stay but the feeling wasn't really mutual

I'm told Philly is prepared to pay Murray, NFL's top rusher in '14, as a 'top 5 running back'. Dallas $, at the moment, does not. @NFLonFOX

You're probably right. I just view AP as the exception to every rule. I think he will be productive longer than Murray.

If Philadelphia Eagles willing to pay DeMarco Murray top-five RB $, that means it's at least $8 million a year avg. Cowboys not going there.
