If Philadelphia Eagles willing to pay DeMarco Murray top-five RB $, that means it's at least $8 million a year avg. Cowboys not going there.

Good. They can have his fumbling ass.

 

[Midswat]

We made the right choice

 

[bbgun]

We made the right choice

he's coming back. this is all a ruse to make Jerry blink.

 

[LAZARUS_LOGAN]

We made the right choice

Yep. And most everyone agrees save Irvin. He may have broken Emmitt's single season team rushing record, but he's not Emmitt.

And it's perfect too. Marinelli has emphasized stripping the ball and causing fumbles.

 

[LAZARUS_LOGAN]

And he is stupid. Go for the money sure, but also try and go for a contender. I would have taken a look at the Cardinals.

 

[Midswat]

Eagles are as much a contender as we are.

DeMarco Murray's deal with Eagles is expected to be 5 years, $42 million, including $21 million guaranteed, per @mortreport and I.

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

What does this mean? Seems like way too much regardless.

Also, not worried in the slightest about Murray being an Eagle. I may now be on board with the "Chip is crazy" crowd, which I wasn't before.

But my real concern is what we do at RB. I thought all along we'd decide quickly and make a move on someone else we liked. Really hope the front office isn't overconfident now after one good year and thinks they can just put anybody out there. This FO had Mikel Leshore ahead of Murray on their draft board.

 

[cockstrong]

Thank God Frank Gore backed out of his deal

 

[peplaw06]

Murray says "it's not about money..."

Yeah, it's about respect.

Which means it's about money.

I was big on bringing Murray back for the right price.. That is not the right price. 21mil guaranteed?? Good for him. He earned it but we couldn't afford that.

Im curious to see if people still think we are in great shape with the salary cap or that it has hindered us to a degree with some of the free agents we lost

Yep, we can do whatever we want in free agency.


Apparently, we want to be a worse team.

Everyone's favorite coward Steve Dennis says the Raiders offered Murray substantially more than the Eagles but he didn't want to play for them.

 

[Sheik]

What do we do now?

As it stands, Linehan just got a license to throw 550 times next year.
