Peterson wants at least 25 Million guaranteed to sign with Dallas

[WPBCowboysFan]

Whats wrong with drafting Gurley or Gordon, or any number of the "plug & play" RB's in the draft that can easily replace Murray behind this OL?

My source says that Charles Robinson needs to calm his mammary glands and stop being the Florio of the Free Agency. He's getting annoying.

Hello RB in the draft (good class this year). Smarter option from day one (passing on Murray/Peterson)

 

[Sportsbabe]

I'd rather he break out his whoopin' stick on me than sign that contract

That confirms it. He's a psychopath.

Kids in Texas are breathing easier . . .

I love ap but I would not pay him that. He's trying to compensate for missing s year. No way in hell Id throw that money at him

He lives in Spring, TX.

Because it is not just rushing, it is blocking it is receiving that is what makes Murray a value to Dallas. It is not rushing alone. Dallas may end up using the draft to get a RB however Gurley likely will not be ready for the season recovering from knee injury and neither guy much in terms of blocking ability. Maybe a good reason Romo wants Murray back, after all it is his hide that is on the line

All I know is he is the only player in Free Agency that makes me think our odds of winning a Superbowl go drastically up if he is on our roster.

Running Back is a highly replaceable position. And I'd argue there are better replacements out there for Brent, Mincey, Wilber, Okoye, McClain, Carr, Claiborne, etc etc that would improve our roster at a fraction of that cost.

Primary risk is pass protection. We don't know if they can do it. We know Murray can. But I still wouldn't go over $7mil a year for him.

This. Then we sign Hardy, fill in the rest of the holes and roll.

Beaterson can stay in Minn.

 

[erod]

You can't have the best RB in the NFL by a country freaking mile for a bargain.

If he's still the same AP, which I think he is for two more years, he'll put up near 2,000 yards a year behind this line. No other back would.

He's Demarco Murray and LeSean McCoy combined.

CJ Spiller come on down.

And wipe the butter off your hands

 

[iceberg]

Yeah, this.

With all the crap that's been spewed these past couple days, this is just crap until proven otherwise.

Heh, its crap when you want the player, but when not, people go nuts on tidbits of info.

So what are you saying, everybody who's been posting that we can let Murray go and just "plug & play" any other RB dont kno what they're talking about?

 

[BAZ]

This is a little hard swallow, "if the Cowboys won't pay Demarco then they can over pay me". AP might be a little out of touch with reality, but this is a lot out of touch.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Someone needs to take switch to him.

 

[Beast_from_East]

30 yr old RB we sat out all of last season wants $25 million guaranteed, not total, just the guaranteed portion of the contract.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

That funny Peterson, you need to be a comedian once you retire.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

Ha ha. Nah, bro.
