if 5 years and $42 with $21 guaranteed is the deal, I can't rip DC for passing on it or 29 for taking it

Agree 1000%. Love DeMarco and there is no way I would match that number.

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

Wow, that was waaaaaay too much money for Murray's one great season. I was pulling for him to be back in Dallas but I have to say congrats to the Cowboys for not caving into that type of contract.

 

[gimmesix]

WAY TO MUCH

The total doesn't really matter, but that guarantee is awful high. Guaranteeing more than $4 million per year means the Eagles are going to really be on the hook if he breaks down.

 

[JoeKing]

I've always thought the Eagles would have to break the bank to sign Murray. If this story is true, that's what they did. Good for Demarco!

 

[Bigdog]

I still say that Kelly pulling the offer from the table on Mathews if it is true is totally BS and if I am FA I will be wary of signing there. It happened to me on a job opportunity and I informed them that I will not be accepting the lower offer since one of your values is integrity and you have none. The HR Director agree with me and said the Executive Director is the one that change the contract before I could sign it.

 

[HardHittin'Witten]

Good for Murray. Glad we passed on matching that.

 

[Aven8]

Can't blame him now. I sure would like to know our plan now. If it's Spiller I hate it. If it's Gurley, I hate it because he's not a guarantee he will be there and he will be on the PUP.

What you got Mr Executive of the Year!

 

[NeonNinja]

If true, he got paid. Good for you Demarco. Thanks to the FO for not doing it. Go get a DE named Hardy and draft the next RB.

Agreed. It would be fantastic to land Hardy/Gurley/RB you like.

 

[Joe_Fan]

There was a tweet earlier today that basically said it was not the per year numbers that the Cowboys were not going to go with...It was the Guaranteed money that was the difference.

Exactly. That's a lot of money to guarantee for a player that has only had one healthy season.

 

[Wayne02]

Murray is definitely worth 8 million a year.

   Minor point: On DeMarco Murray's $21 million guaranteed, $18 million for skill and injury. Murray got what Dallas did not expect.

If he gets more then $28M in the first 4 years then it is too much, which he almost has to if $21M guaranteed.

Glad we held the line.

Now go get a DE, LB & CB so we can get ready for the draft with a RB & BPA approach.

 

[Stash]

I knew it would turn out to be a deal that we're all glad the Cowboys didn't give him.

Just like Parnell's deal
Just like Carter's deal
Just like Durant's deal
Just like Harris' deal

There's not one of the guys' contracts where we thought 'oooh, we should have matched that'.

Especially this one.

 

[MonsterD]

Bye

 

[joseephuss]

For a RB that led the league in yards BEFORE contact. I don't think the Eagles understand what a good RB makes. Let's go get Peterson now, the king in yards AFTER contact.

I think Murray ranked pretty in high in yards after contact as well this past season. He was ranked 3rd at one point during the year, but I don't know where he ranked at the end of the season.

 

[Kaiser]

If we sign Matthews to a one year deal and then Murray gets injured and puts up fewer yards...it will be one of the biggest moves within the Division in many years.

 

[Fletch]

Murray will be at Philthy headquarters around 3 pm EST. If that contract is for real, and signed, then let the hate commence.

I declare one DeMarco Murray the most hated former Cowboy in the history of Cowboys!

I wish you the very worst in your football endeavors. Your actions were detestable. Thank goodness I didn't buy your jersey. Later loser.

Good riddance!

 

[xvendettax914]

Really hope Lee is healthy when this game comes around to eat his lunch all day.
