John Clayton just said Cowboys going to offer Demarco $7-7.5m per

[WoodysGirl]

Has it really been that long?

Yep. He signed in 2006. I'd at least try something a little more recent to hold over the guy. lol

 

[darthseinfeld]

You guys are so right, signing our 2014 MVP for one or two more years would be the worst thing ever!!!!!!!!!

You dont pay for past performance

 

[Dave_in-NC]

its a test of using your resources well and we have finite resources,any GM who pays a RB a 2nd contract is dumb.Philly just traded Shady and you can bet they started regretting giving him a big contract.

All I'm saying is that IF this were true, it's not a test for jerry. he tabled it.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Must be nice to see the future. I wonder how many wanted to get rid of him before the season.

I cant see the future per say, but the workload he had this year has been a career killer time and time again

 

[lwehlers]

not a bad contract if its only for four years. also be interesting to see what the guarantee money will be. I want murray back but I do not want a contract that is going to be like the barber contract that has a lot of dead money in it if something happens to murray injury wise like barber.

Hate it.

He didn't take a pounding though. if he killed himself getting those yards, I'd agree. I just don't remember him getting crushed.

This. Could be allot over nothing around here.

I agree. Tarot cards are a much more effective way to predict future performance.

But it;s OK to use other people's past performances to predict what Murray will do

A 27 year old RB has no where to go but to completely useless.

Why hate a RB who was a major part in helping our QB to his best season ever?

 

[Teague31]

Way too much $ for a soon to be 30 year old back with one healthy season under his belt

The sample size is way too small to be of any significance imo. I don't care what happened to Jamal Anderson and Larry Johnson. This is an entirely different situation. Who says he doesn't follow a similar trajectory to Eric Dickerson or Emmitt Smith?

 

[visionary]

Only 3 mill/ year too much
Jerry better not do this
Let Murray walk

He turns 30 in 3 years lol.

Who is nearing 30?? Murray just turned 27.

 

[Beast_from_East]

He is 27

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

It better not be for more than a 4 year deal

 

[Szczepanik]

I want Murray back for 7-7.5 .

He has came out and said that if he gets an offer from Dallas within range of other deals he will stay. There are very few LOYAL players of top talent.

I want a guy like that on my team, that is selfless. He is a top 5 RB that wants to stay with his team and lose a couple mill in the process. Fine by me.

His chemistry with the team is invaluable.

Yeah, a lot of people say the line was the MVP. But thats none of my business

Gross. Spend that on defense please.
