Murray to retire. Open to ESPN job

[glimmerman]

That can't be right, is it? He had 12 mill guaranteed in Tenn and 21 mill guaranteed in Philly not to mention what he made in Dallas. And that's just guaranteed money...

His stint in egirls land got him 9 million. He left after 1 year of the contract. He could have signed a slightly less contract with us and still been playing for us. He made his money in tenn. made 13 million there. He only made a little over 3 million in Dallas.

Yea, he went after money over fit.

Maybe a place like Oakland, IIRC, he would of made more money long term than a east west team like Kellys Eagles.

Hindsight staying may of worked out more for him, but money is money, many only get one shot at a big payday.

I believe you gotta speak to be an analyst you can't just clap for the entire show.

He wasn't so good when he was sleeping around with his ex-college teammate's wife.

Man.. Can we keep spray tan out of this?

 

[conner01]

Sad to see these guys come and go so fast
Life for a RB in the nfl is mighty short

 

[Aikmaniac]

Good luck DeMarco! Thanks for the years of toting the rock for the Boys. Loved every minute of it.

One of the best RB's we had. Smart man and runner. To bad, he couldnt have finished in Dallas.

Another Cap casualty....

 

[mattjames2010]

He changed his story to try to save his marriage. Months later he filed for divorce. Why would he divorce a "faithful" wife?

Take your tabloid BS elsewhere. You're speculating even though that drama king player came out and stated he was wrong.

 

[mattjames2010]

The vitriol of some here LOL

Had a good career, a season many/most RBs will never have. Good for him. Good luck to him in the future

 

[jwooten15]

After the fumbling problems that cost us a trip to the NFCC game in 2014, I was glad we let him walk. Good guy, but we cut ties at the right time. Good luck in the future, DM

Too bad the Cowboys burn this bridge. I'll take him over any RB on our current roster except Zeke.

The bridge isn’t burnt. He was lobbying hard to be traded here before we drafted Zeke. He is quoted saying he thought it was a done deal.

We just wanted to roll with youth or he didn’t want to accept a backup role, nothing more.

 

[Wishbone82]

It's strange to me that he's only been in the NFL for 7 seasons, feels like a lot longer. I'll never forget those times where he crushed the Rams.

He's barely in the top-10 in my book when it comes to all-time great Cowboy RB's.

DeMarco Murray is set to announce he’s retiring today at 2:00 PM. Supposedly he’s angling for ESPN job.

He had a great career. And he happens to be a really good dude.

So, by my count, he had about 2 good years after Cowboys let him walk. If they gave him his 4+ year contract that he wanted at the time, the Cowboys running game would have started to slide badly right after they lose Romo for good. That would have been disasterous. Good call Jerrah. Good call.

What about if you clap and spit?

 

[Hardline]

Loved him as a Cowboy.
Hated him as a Sooner.

I wish him the best on his future endeavors.

Hmmm.....Stephen's take-it or leave-it offer to Murray was $5M range. Eagles paying 9M isn't "slightly" less but no way he's getting that from the Cowboys. Point is Stephen screwed this whole DeMarco himself. He could have easily extended DeMarco BEFORE the start of 2014 season for $4-5M but he hedged his bet and Murray ends up leading the league on rushing. To save face, Stephen started a neg media circus around Murray's contract issues, running backs declines after 30, any running back can run behind this OL. He even leaked to Fish some so-called new Cowboy philosophy that the team would know invest prem resources in RB position. Bottom line, he had no intention of resigning Murray. Romo, Jason Witten, and Garrett all publicly vouch to keep the 2014 team intact but he was sold on knucklehead Randell. Didn't even bother trying to sign a vet replacement.

Sorry for the rant .......but it still p me off how he screwed our 2015 season.

 

[bigdnlaca]

Why is everything Cowboy related or someone that was associated with Cowboys making news on Fridays?

He had a good career and I think he will do well in whatever he choose to do.
