Maybe I'm alone, but I love what we're doing this offseason. We're not handing out money to borderline players who do nothing to build the strength of the team. We're managing our cap effectively knowing that we need to sign Dez to a long-term contract while keeping our options open for June 1st cuts.

Total 180 degree turn from how we've operated before which, as you may know, yielded no SB's and enough playoff wins to count on one hand.

I'm with you 100% man. No way I would be happy with Dallas giving any of these deals the Free Agents have been getting. If Hardy signed with someone for like 4 mil I would be pissed but thats about it.

I look forward to next year's FA threads that are filled with several top names coming here after a ton of restructuring.

We can do what we want.

He's replaceable imo.

Im upset that we let a young LB like Bruce Carter go.

Dallas needs to put their money in OL and DL though. That's where we should spend money.. And Peterson too of course.

This is what baffles me. Losing the offensive player of the year, a guy who clearly had a TON to do with our success this past year? No big deal, easily replaceable. But losing a wildly inconsistent linebacker, a guy who the defensive coordinator didn't even think was the best player at the position? Now THAT hurts.

Give me a break.

Give any top 10 RB 300 carries in our offense and see if they aren't an offensive player of the year candidate.

Murray couldn't even find daylight and he produced. Imagine an RB that actually doesn't run into darkness in this offense.

The guy should've had the best season in NFL history but he left yards all over the place.

Got to agree. The yards left were baffling. Look at the long runs Randle had with limited touches. Imagine what guys like Gurley, Coleman, and esp. He Who Shall Not Be Named would do with those opportunities. We'll be ok.

Agreed. The Ravens haven't rushed to sign anyone and they lost quite a few starters already.

No need in overpaying for Murray when the draft is stacked at RB. Also, we did manage to sign Beas and Free for reasonable numbers.

Demarco going to Philly i say OHHHHH WELLL. I know some of you will call me a homer and that i am trying to spin a positive out of this, but correct me if i am wrong last year was his first Big year right? The prior year he had 1100 yards roughly right? I think we can find a RB in the draft that can produce that behind this line. And yes I think the line plays a big part of it Demarco didint get great until we had one. So BYE MARCO! Lets get some new blood in here and Fix this Defense with Demarcos Savings! Peace Out Spray Tan!!

I thought they would win 7 games max. Also, Jerry thought it would be a bad year.

You saw 12-4? What about the year before? You saw 8-8?

I love how Jerry is a fool until he agrees with you, then he's a genius because it makes you feel like a genius.

From what I understand no team can receive more than 4 comp picks in a year.

And his yards after contact were astonishing.

Honestly, Murray was never an open field runner, he's a patient back that waiting for holes to develop and weaved his way through those.

The disrespect Murray gets from some of you people is ridiculous. Not every RB can get 1,800 yards and 400 yards receiving. Give credit where credit is due.
