Cowboys to let Demarco test FA

[NextGenBoys]

Once other teams get to flirting with Demarco it's gonna be hard to come back home. I think Indy will get him when it's said and done.

I think it's almost a lock Indy gets him. For whatever reason, don't rule out Washington either.

Incorrect, IIRC, Peterson was on the commissioners exempt list (as was Hardy). They both collected their full pay for the season.

Peterson forfeited 4 games pay.... Made almost $8mil instead of $12mil

I stand corrected. Thanks for the info.

I stand corrected. Thanks for the info.

NO big deal..... It's still $8mil doing nothing, what's a few more difference

Demarco will get paid as he knows this is his last big contract - got to cash in while you can.

Little bit of an interesting note from Peter King:

7. I think, and it’s just a gut feeling, DeMarco Murray will find a team willing to pay him more than the Cowboys. Then he’ll have to decide if the pay difference is enough for him to leave Dallas. It’s smart for the team to let the market work here, because Murray wants to remain a Cowboy very much—but Dallas doesn’t want to jump out and voluntarily pay him so much more than he could get anywhere else. The downside, of course, is that Murray could get an offer and get bent out of shape that Dallas didn’t aggressively try to sign him before free agency, and take that offer. It’s going to be an interesting dance between the Cowboys and Murray. One other point that I heard at the combine: Jason Witten and Tony Romo have been working Murray hard to stay a Cowboy. They all went on a short vacation after the season with their significant others. There is no question that, if all things are close to being equal, Murray wants to stay in Dallas.

Only way that happens is if players start restructuring or take a pay cut.

Murray has shown nothing but maturity. I doubt he gets bent out of shape no matter what happens. I think he understands the business part better than Dez does.
