Not really a surprise. Especially since I live in Nashville and hear the latest rumblings with the Titans lol.

Murray was one of my favorite RBs...one of the best overall skill sets in recent memory (power, speed, pass catching, blocking). But I think injuries have taken their toll.

7 years in the league? So.....how does that affect our thinking on that #3 pick...

Not surprised since Henry out performed him last year but I think he still has some left in the tank he will get picked up.

For those asking, I doubt the Colts have interest in Murray. They definitely want to get younger at the position.

Pass

[LJpalmbeacher2]

For those couple seasons he Dominated with Dallas, he was as good as I've seen in recent times.

[BOTT]

Good running back...made to look great in Dallas.

[IndyScribe]

Not surprising. Henry is pretty good and will be their back of the future.

 

Also, pass on Murray. Has way too many miles on him, and he'd get killed behind our bad line.

Not saying anything bad against you but funny how Murray was just a good back behind a great Dallas OL but Zeke is elite behind the same line...even though he rushed for less yards then Murray and has basically the same ypc. Just another case of where we see that an elite rb isn’t that much of an advantage over simply a good back.

That was part of the message

The back makes the line , Polian told me so.

[NewColtsFan]

In his day,  Murray was a scary back...   He ran hard...  he ran angry...  he ran violent...   defenses wanted no part of him.

 

He was beautiful to watch...   terrifying to try and tackle...

 

But RBs don't age well..   they get old fast...   and coming during another great year of RBs out of college, his timing is.... unfortunate...    

 

He'll likely end up somewhere on a very small deal...    it's a new world....

My guess would be the Jets on a 2 year deal. Forte is retiring and all they’ve got are complimentary backs (Powell and McGuire).

Honestly that is a great prediction.  Either there or the Rams...they seem to be snatching everyone up...lol joking

Rams have Gurley, so no need for Murray. He might go to the Jets, but do the Jets have a good O-Line? If they don't he'll probably be average for them. Jets also have the money to throw at him for a big contract.

[dgambill]

It will be interesting to see...him and AP both free agents both with a ton of wear on their tread. Both give you about the same thing at this point.....yeah going to be tough to find a job. I could see either back in Dallas on a cheap deal to back up Zeke.

It was a joke

[lollygagger8]

If I was him I'd try to go back to Dallas and run behind that O-line that made him look so good

they were not that far apart in talent, murray was second in rushing after leaving dallas

 

murray was a vet with some experience when he put up those big numbers,  while elliot was a rookie and came pretty close.  the line wasnt quite as good for zeke either, and may never be again 

 

there was a year gap between them in dallas
