Schefter Per Mort Report: Murray 5 for 42 mill 21 guaranteed

[coult44]

Agree. Half of his salary is guaranteed. Wow. Too much for RB where we can get one in the draft. Spend that money on DE like Hardy.

Stop with the rookie crap. No way a rookie comes in and does everything we need him to do. It's dumb to think one could. Run, sure. Everything else, absolutely not!!!!

@JJT_ESPNDallas It's a shame that Murray is going to get ripped by DC fans. No one should fault him for getting the most money he can!

Boring day on Twitter.

LOL...shortly after there is a rumor that they are trying to trade him and the whole Murray stuff going on.
Well Played Evan.

he's a great follow on twitter.

Chip is on a roll.

That gravy train with biscuit wheels gon crash and burn in a year

 

[Wayne02]

People, please quit saying that money is well deserved. He had one very good season. That one season had much more to do with a beastly oline then it did with Murray. He will never come close to that kind of production again.

Emmitt Smith had a beastly offensive line for his entire career, are you going to sit here and argue that Emmitt Smith didn't deserve his money or accolades simply because he had good blocking?

 

[DallasCowboys2080]

First of all, whenever a player says that it's not about the money, you know they're lying. They all say that. Second of all, who on the Cowboys playing roster have won a Super Bowl?

Jason Garrett?

 

[jterrell]

I hope Murray uses some of that cash to get a monster mcmansion here in Dallas(highland Park).
Season tickets to the Mavs and SMU games.

 

[Risen Star]

Well, now I expect the Cowboys to get aggressive about adding a RB.

 

[Wood]

I wouldn't mind Matthews as a cheaper replacement. Fingers crossed he don't get hurt.

the most I see Dallas offering him would be 2 year deal for $3 mill season.

Hard to find fault with either @DeMarcoMurray or the Cowboys in this deal. But Jerry better hope his o-line is as good as he thinks it is.

It is Mike. It is.

Again, I don't blame him at all for following the money. I think the hate many have comes from him joining our most hated rival, and I don't see anything wrong with that. Are Cowboys fans supposed to love an Eagles player suddenly?

 

[MikeT22]

Murray went to Philly so he could win Super Bowl.

 

[slick325]

The marketplace has spoken. Top tier backs are still being paid big numbers. This doesn't lend itself to Peterson taking less than Marshawn, Demarco or McCoy. I no longer see Peterson becoming a member of the Cowboys.

Good thing this draft is deep with backs. Hopefully the team is doing their due diligence.

Ravens reached agreement with RB Justin Forsett, per source. RB market heating up.

 

[HanfordDixon]

So I did some research on this. Murray had 497 touches last year, counting the two playoff games. There's about eight RBs in NFL history who approach those numbers. Only one -- Eric Dickerson -- did not suffer pretty disasterous results following the monster workload season. Jamal Anderson and Terrell Davis tore their ACLs the following season. Eddie George dropped to 3.0 per carry and was never the same. Larry Johnson never hit 1,000 again and was never the same. Gerald Riggs had one more 1,000 season, but he was never the same. Ricky Williams had one more 1,000 season, but he was never the same.

I was really worried Dallas would go to $7 mil a year. This is a really good deal. It might sting now with the Birds winning this skirmish, but long term, this is a good deal.

I think that would have been less likely had he not signed with a HATED rival!

 

[Fritsch_the_cat]

Who's tops in the draft? Assuming they don't think the future at RB is already on the roster?

 

[rayyyy5x]

Am i crazy but wouldnt that be 3/5 of eagle's oline that is gone? One to indy, one retired, and now possibly trading evan mathis? Haven't seen much discussion about it... They had a good oline

 

[Risen Star]

People, please quit saying that money is well deserved. He had one very good season. That one season had much more to do with a beastly oline then it did with Murray. He will never come close to that kind of production again.

Beastly OL, a ton of carries and a very good RB. I think that's a fair evaluation of it.

 

[LandryFan]

will 99% or 100% of mock drafts have dallas going RB in round 1 now?

fwiw, I think I would go RB round 2. (Yeldon or Ajani)

I agree.
