Blame Jerry and Stephen, not Demarco. remember that he wanted to stay in Dallas.

...As long as he was getting paid what he wanted. That's a big caveat, there. I don't blame him at all. And I don't blame the Cowboys either.

I would if I was loyal to my company and had a better chance of moving up the ranks of said company then leaving and starting from scratch. That's just me though

What Ranks is he going to move up? This isn't Burger king where you hope to be the manager some day. It's the NFL where he's a starting RB no matter where he signs.

Common sense.

Don't give in, keep the offer at what we want. He wants to be paid like he's elite.

Take the offer OFF the table and move on!!!!

 

[hornitosmonster]

I would pull the offer tonight and send him a wish you well text. We are fine with the draft or AP. The o line is that good

Or Blame Murray and his agent... Remember Jerry, Jason and his team mates wanted him to stay.

Guess it depends on which side you want to believe and which side you want to blame.

I honestly think the Cowboys are afraid of another Barber situation. I can't say i blame them.

I think Barber is going to haunt this organization until the end of time.

If he goes he goes. Draft his replacement

How many people wouldn't leave their jobs tomorrow if a competitor offered you 20% more than your getting paid now?

I had that opportunity once. I didn't take it. The company offering that 20% more for the same type of job didn't have the same kind of benefits to offer. Later, they dropped their pension plan. Later, they folded as a company. Since that time the company I stayed with improved the benefits, continue to offer a pension plan and I have been compensated.

You referred it to a job. I'm just putting it in perspective. If I knew I'd be ceo (superbowl champ) or had a better chance where I was. Money wouldn't matter as much.

 

[Dave_in-NC]

Again, going to Philly is not about the money. If it was he would be headed to CA. There's no way after the petulant child nonsense he has pulled the last couple of days this isn't personal if he does indeed sign there.

Maybe he likes what Philly is doing. What is the Raiders done in forever. You still haven't answered my question. But then again maybe you have.

 

[Clarkson]

Common sense.

Sure, but his post didn't cover it, and it's important to mention when making a post like that.

 

[cowboyvic]

How do you know how much anyone really offered him?
Murray is doing the exact same thing anyone with a brain would do. Your team told you to go get offers. If you company told you to go get an offer from another job and come back with it you would do the same thing.

Thak you. they just don't seem to get it. they think he should just take what Jerry and Stephen offer him. that is not how this business works.

 

[hornitosmonster]

A rookie can get 1000 yards next season so let him walk. Plug and play, our line is that good

The benefits in the NFL are universal. None of that matters.

Dude, really?

The entire NFL is scratching their head at Kelly these past few days.

it's a metaphor.

I wish he'd explain to me what Philly's doing because I haven't got a clue.

Yes, really:
