A source close to DeMarco's agent Pat Dye Jr. tells me the name Jamaal Charles of the Chiefs has been broached in the agent's "comparison'' talks with Dallas. And it's a fair comparison, in terms of production. Charles this summer signed an extension that extends for two years and totals $18.10 million, including $8,300,000 guaranteed. It's tricky, though, because Charles' deal extends him beyond what were his existing two years and tacks on two more ... and gives him, over the course of 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017, about $30 million total.
Forget whether DeMarco is as good as Charles. The point is that in Dallas, he will never be paid $9 million a year. Nor, as things presently stand, will he be tagged, locking him in at $11 million for a year. Simply, the Cowboys' days of paying those sorts of dollars to running backs are over. And the reasons are two-fold. "

He shouldn't be paid $9M a year regardless of the team.

Yeah, I will be sorry to see him go but also know why they wont break the bank for him. Murray is in a numbers game with a HOF looming and chomping at the bit to come home.
If I were Murray, I'd take the highest bidder and go support my family. If I were SJ or JJ, no way I would pay Murray more than 4mil per. That's where we stand IMO.
