Murray offered 4 years, 16 mil per NFL network

[crashintonickdm]

Good price. Will he take it though? Can't say much after horrific fumble

 

[Tusan_Homichi]

I think that's fair for a running back in today's NFL. If he wants more, he can go elsewhere.

 

[Vinnie2u]

He won't take it. And I don't blame him.. He needs to make as much as possible..

Is this a rerun of old news or a new offer?

 

[perrykemp]

Why not the 7 years $45m ($16m guaranteed) that Jones graciously gave Marion Barber way back in 2008 despite the fact that Barber had never gone over 1000 yards?

That feels minimal. I'd doubt he'll go for that. I'm sure there will be a team willing to pay twice as much out there.

 

[perrykemp]

He is likely to get $6-7m a year from someone like the Colts who will view Murray as the RB that will put them over the top

 

[Chago]

He won't take it.

where would that put him in running back salary catergory if he signs that? wondering how much rb's are going for these days

I'm hoping that Stephen would punch Jerry in the nads if he ever offered a running back that kind of money again.

Whew, when I heard this on NFL radio I thought they said $60 million and nearly ran off the road.

I don't like allocating resources to running backs but even I admit this is too cheap.

Old offer resurface?

 

[Nightman]

Call it 6/30m for all I care. Just don't give him a huge signing bonus so if he falls off they can walk away.

They can guarantee the next year's salary every March 1st or add a roster bonus, but you shouldn't commit a lot of guaranteed money to any RB

 

[Jenky]

Pretty insulting IMO.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

Personally I think it would be stupid on his part not to test the FA market first

That was the old Jerry. We have the new and improved Jerry now.

if legit he'll walk and I for one wont blame him

It's a starting point. I could see them going up to $5-5.5 mil for four years but once you get over that threshold you are playing with fire.

Cowboys are low balling I don't think they want him back enough to break the bank... I don't blame them, he was obviously wearing down towards the end... this was his 1st season not missing games

Plus I just like the 2 back system better... little thunder and lightning lol
