joneo 529 Posted March 12, 2015 http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/demarco-murray-leaves-cowboys-to-join-eagles/ar-AA9HmOl DeMarco Murray is staying in the NFC East. Just not with the Dallas Cowboys. The NFL's 2014 rushing champion reached agreement in principle on a five-year, $42-million deal with the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday, a person familiar with the agreement told USA TODAY Sports. That person spoke on the condition of anonymity since the team has yet to announce a deal. Guess this means Peterson will be signing with the Cowboys.

Peterson is under contract, they'd have to trade for him. I think. Also, not surprised by this. Murray seemed disenchanted with the Cowboys recently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CantTouchThis 23 Posted March 12, 2015 Honestly, it doesn't matter who is the RB is in Dallas. A truly great O-line will make any run of the mill RB look like a pro bowler. Murray is more than that, but I really don't think he is a superior RB. Top 10, but not top 5 as far as pure runners go. I think they can just piece together a nice RBBC via the draft and maybe picking up Spiller, or even Bush. That being said, if AP plays like the AP of old, he could get 2500 yards behind that line.

HenryHill9323 65 Posted March 12, 2015 Good for Murray. Seems like a solid dude off the field. He had a career year in a contract year.....behind one of the best lines in the NFL. With the Cowboys line the yards will come by RBBC, but they will miss his blocking. Guy is good at picking up blitzes. Too much $$$$ for a guy with his injury history. I don't think Philthy's O line is nearly as good as the Cowboys, so his injury history could come up again. The Boys have two serviceable backs now, and there are a lot of good backs in this draft to be had at a fraction of the price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Boys have two serviceable backs now, and there are a lot of good backs in this draft to be had at a fraction of the price. The blocking is the key though. Romo gets dinged a lot and gets happy feet when he doesn't have time. This will lead to many more problems than just the lost yards on the ground. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HenryHill9323 65 Posted March 12, 2015 Agreed. But the very young line will be more experienced. I'm sure they will address the blocking thru the draft, or FA, or use a TE in the backfield more. It they don't keep Romo healthy they will go nowhere. They were smart to not pay him that much, IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magnificent Bastard 190 Posted March 13, 2015 Right now the best RB on Dallas is Randle, a Bonafide knuckle head . I know rb's have been devalued, and i agree, but don't go overboard. Cowboys look like the have T Richardson, S Jax and the draft. Any more? I remember jerry wanted Darren McFadden a few years back but took Felix jones. That might work, will be cheap. Ridley? Knowshon. Probably a vet and the draft Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HenryHill9323 65 Posted March 13, 2015 Didn't particularly want Murray but the price tag is fine and sticking it to Dallas is just gravy. He is 27, has only played one season without injury........he had about 500 touches last year. No back who had over 370 in a season has rushed for over 1000 yards the next season. Eagles offered him 50% more than any other team. Over paying for an injury prone running back who is getting old so you can say you stuck it to the Cowboys is one of the many reasons your organization is a joke. Also why you are 0-Forever in Super Bowl victories. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FeelingMN 273 Posted March 13, 2015 Will Bradford/Murray/Matthews even combine to play 30 games this year? They've got maybe 2 whole seasons without injury in that group. Even if Murray gets to 1000....big deal. Coulda saved a lotta coin if you only needed a 1000 yard rusher. Dude needs 1500 total yards and 10+ TDs to justify his signing. To RP's point....considering the workload and injury history.....gonna be tough to approach those numbers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To RP's point....considering the workload and injury history.....gonna be tough to approach those numbers. Injuries are definitely a concern a quarterback. Bradford seems to be made of crystal. As for running back, with Murray, Matthews, and Sproles, they have plenty of insurance. Plus, should be able to keep all of their touches down. They dumped McCoy's 10.5 million and are paying Murray 7 mil. Plus were able to get 2013 defensive rookie of the year in Alonso. For less than a million per. Loved getting Murray, Matthews, Alonso, and Maxwell. Not crazy about the Bradford trade. Or the Thurman signing. I don't think he's done, yet. Wouldn't be surprised for him to make a run at Crabtree. I heard maybe Harvin, but I hope not. He's nothing but trouble. And another injury risk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cruzer 1,992 Posted March 13, 2015 Will Bradford/Murray/Matthews even combine to play 30 games this year? They've got maybe 2 whole seasons without injury in that group. C. Kelly basically swapped L. McCoy for D. Murray and K. Alonso - which isn't terrible..... But you have to ask - is Murray an upgrade over McCoy? And is Murray worth $8m a year if he's going to split carries with Sproiles & Matthews? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
