I have to admit that was the classiest move I've ever seen by a former Cowboy. It's a shame he had to go. I will always pull for the man except when he's playing the Cowboys.

It's funny how some of the posts here scream of irony when they claim Murray "selfish" because they wanted him to pay for less money. Grow up, people .

Everybody is sayin' how bad Jerry is and why he didn't bring back Murray.

But why didn't Murray just take Jerry's 6 mil/year rather than take 8 mil/year with the Eagles? He would still be a Cowboy.

You just don't turn sides to be with the enemy and talk about the dicision was based on to get the best opportunity to win a super bowl.

He is the enemy now and he can put up as many billboards he like that won't change it.

bingo...he told me he wanted to play for rings...and went to a team that didnt make the playoffs last year and has never won a ring.

so, i feel lied to. just say "I want a payday"...Id probably still respect him. as of now, i just feel betrayed and lied to

The only good thing about that billboard was if he used Philthy's money to pay for it.

Yes, but wouldn't you take less money to be with your friends and try do get to the big dance together?

They all started something special together, so why not finish it together.

It just doesn't stick right with me to go to the enemy just for more money. He would have been rich with the Cowboys, too.

Nope, he's getting one big offer, I'm sure he will remain friends with they guys he really cared about and what guarantee does any one have the Cowboys are going to win the SB? I think they stand a better chance, especially after the Hardy signing but that still doesn't guarantee
any thing.

Yes but Murray could have done his part to help the Cowboys to get there.

That's true and only a few of us believe that. The Cowboys didn't seem to think so, I hope it works out for our team.

Classy move on his part.



Not sure if this has been posted, but just thought I'd share

Hated to see him go. Over it now. Still believe he is a stand up guy. Will miss him.

I think that Demarco Murray going the extra mile to say thank you to the Cowboys' fans, is stand up and shouldn't be demeaned by an unappreciative group of fans who but three years ago were wanting to collect funds for a bill board demeaning Jerry Jones.

This was a class act, plain and simple...and a fan with sportsmanship can see just that.

Murray getting over paid by the iggles thanks to his over use by the Cowboys. Good luck repeating that success in philly with a different O-line. But yeah, you got paid... you're welcome and not worth it.

Surprisingly no one has posted a valid link to any of that. Kelly himself said the Eagles called Murray.

It was widely reported that Murray reached out first, but whether he did or did not, he absolutely said in his pc that it wasn't about money it was about trying to win a super bowl.. which is a cheap shot at us, as if we don't have a better chance of winning a SB here.

Actually. . . It was simply him saying what he had to say to avoid alienating his new teammates. I can't believe I'm explaining this.

When Irvin went down in Philly and it was revealed he would not come back, I felt gut shot.

When I heard Murray was signed away, I had a similar feeling.

I seldom get completely attached to players, but I liked Murray from the beginning.

No matter what uniform he wears, I will always think of him as a Cowboy.

You gonna think of him as a Cowboy when he's scoring TD's against us in an attempt to keep Romo and Co. away from a championship?
