Video: Demarco Murray Press Conference

Zordon · Mar 12, 2015

Before you get emotional and bash the man, please watch his PC. He literally spends half the time talking about his love for the Cowboys and his brothers on the team. There is no question he would be a Cowboy if he got a respectable offer from us. I really hope this new money strategy doesn't backfire because Murray is 10x the professional guys like MBIII and Leonard Davis were.

Murray is a great guy, I have no bad blood for him, he got his cheese that he earned.

Only problem is he went to the Eagles!

He clearly wanted to play for the Cowboys. We can't blame him for taking 2x the money. As a NFL RB, this is likely his one and only opportunity to maximize a contract. Next time around he'll be the wrong side of 30.

Does he look like a guy who wants to be there? It's obvious he was forced into this decision because he wasn't getting a respectable deal from us. This isn't the NBA/MLB, these men risk their bodies/lives for the game. He deserves to take care of himself financially.

No arguments from me on this. I still hope he fails.

Or move to NFL Zone, this sub forum is meant for Cowboys related news.

So Dallas offered him essentially a few million more than their slot receiver.

Now this team has to change focus from defense to RB.

Just when I was thinking Jerry Jones grew a brain.

BrAinPaiNt · Mar 12, 2015

I don't understand why it is so hard for people to get it.

The Cowboys did what they thought was the best for the team by not going over what they thought was a fair price. They did not do it because they did not like Murray. They did not do it because they could not afford it.

Murray did what he thought what he thought was best for his and his families best interest in what is likely to be his last contract.
He did not do it to spurn the Cowboys or because he hates the owner, coach or team. Nor was he forced to leave. He chose to leave and they chose to let him.

Trying to assign blame to either party to fit your own agenda is pretty foolish.

But hey... That is just my opinions so it what it is

we have the right parts to have almost any decent RB run behind this OL. Murray was good but not great....move on.

draft a RB and add DL in FA

I find Murray standing there saying it had nothing to do with money more than a bit hypocritical. From day one it was always about money.

Other than that agreed.

DanManJ · Mar 12, 2015

Ok so he said that it was not a financial decision and that he came to Philly to win a Superbowl........***. Even the philly reporters were like "wait so you are saying the Eagles have a better chance of winning a superbowl than the cowboys?" They had to ask him twice because they couldn't believe him. I mean I love Demarco and wish him the best but saying it was not a financial decision is a ridiculous lie.

Makes no sense to over pay for a slow, opportunistic, fumbler. No thanks.

THEHEREAFTER · Mar 12, 2015

So he truly believes he has a better chance to win a SB in Philly? and it wasn't about the money? Interesting

He's full of crap. Claiming it wasn't about the money, but his chance to win a Super Bowl.

Denim Chicken · Mar 12, 2015

Did any info come out about an offer from Oakland?

I wouldn't take that comment too literally. I think he's giving his new fanbase something to be excited about. At the end of the day it was a decision to take a little less money to play in Philly and be competitive over taking the most money from Jacksonville and be irrelevant for the rest of his career. We all know how competitive Murray is so it shouldn't be a surprise he took the Philly offer.

No, but they were rumored to offer him the most.

PA Cowboy Fan · Mar 12, 2015

I get that if it was up to Murray he'd still be in Dallas but this one hurts.

ilykdrama · Mar 12, 2015

Sure. Great guy.

That called Chip Kelly himself and told him how he wanted to play in Philly....ALSO.....

"I felt that this was a great opportunity for me to win a Super Bowl, at the end of the day," Murray said Thursday at his introductory news conference. "It wasn't about the financial security or anything like that."

^Great guy. Cowboys basically won in Green Bay and Eagles were watching at home....And it's a "great opportunity to win a super bowl." He's a prick. I hope he gets injured the first play of the season. He insulted our team and his Oline by saying that.

I for one, vote that we delete the press conference. Don't care what he said in it to cover up the crap he said above.
