Murray offered 4yr/16mi

Enjoy him for this year folks because Murray will not be here next year.
 
And he laughed...

Good offer by JJ tho, start the bidding low!
 
I don't understand this, you have a guy who's carrying the bacon and you low ball him in the middle of the season...go figure.

Do we know how much is guaranteed? If its a decent amount, there's risk incentive for Murray to take a deal in the case he were to be injured. I have no problem with starting low, the organization needs to tighten their belt and sell all the ancillary benefits of playing for the Cowboys & living in Texas
 
I can't stand jerri but kudos to him if he's quit handing out contracts like they're going out of style. They can always come up. Hopefully they've learned their lessons from crazy contracts like roy willy who got paid big before he ever played a down in Dallas

Exactly right.

It's a far cry from the 7 year $45 mil that MB3 signed for.

Even if Murray signs for 4 years at $20 mil, that's still not close to what Barber got.

I definitely don't want to pay him the big bucks (7/8 million/year),but this is definitely a low ball offer. I think 5 million a year(maybe 6) would be far more reasonably, for the cowboys and for Murray. He's a great RB, but that doesn't help much when he's not on the field healthy. With that said though, I'd much rather us low ball him then to see Jerry throw him a 4 year deal for 30-36 million.
 
Murray may be carrying the bacon, but he isn't going to do this behind most other OLs. I think the offer will go up, but I don't have an issue with it. He won't have this success elsewhere and should want to stay here above all. $4 million per year is nothing to sneeze at. It's 16 times more than Roger Staubach ever made here for a season and look what he turned his salary into.
