Cut/Released: DeMarco Murray - Retires

[sigma six]

I thought maybe it was a Bevell/Cable thing but they're once again looking at older/slower backs even with those two gone. Why?

It's a dumb idea really, we have guys who can succeed if the line in front of them gets shored up properly.

You don't want DeMarco Murray.

As someone who had Murray in fantasy last year...god no

Take him Seattle...Please

I think Murray has a little bit left, but he just needs to stay healthy.

Isn't he a very good at blocking? If so, i'm sure a few pass heavy offenses wouldn't mind having him around.

Yeah, he's an excellent blocker. I still think he has something left in the tank. Could be an interesting add.

To add to this, he's been Pro Football Focus' top graded blocker among RBs the last 2 seasons.

Not surprising. So young though.

Sounds like he had options, but it was getting clear his body was breaking down. Glad he's walking away while he still can.

He made it 2x the length of a avg NFLer.

He made it 2x the length of a avg NFLer.

Ok cool

He only had a 7 year career but it probably felt more like 14 with the amount of carries he got in Dallas, peaking out at 392 in 2014 (jesus). They ran him into the ground so many times.

I have to admit i thought he'd stick around as an RB2 for somebody especially because of his blocking ability, but if he feels his body has nothing left to give, then more power to him. Get out of the game with your health and a fat bank account. Nothing wrong with that.

Another name on the cautionary tale of the big second contract for running backs... which ends up being a cautionary tale about using a top ten draft pick on a running back.
