I could not sell Murray all of last year no matter what I did. So what are folks getting for him in the off-season?

Anybody buying on Demarco Murray? (2 Viewers)

Would love for him get a deal in Carolina. Damn he would be an awesome fit, exactly what we need
that's not a bad match at all, interesting.
It's probably gonna be a whole lot of back N forth between he and the Titans. They really do love the guy, he's been good for the city, and he loves it there. You know how it goes with older players though

Why would the Titans offer him starter money if they don’t plan on him being the starter? This league doesn’t pay guys based on what they did in the past. Guys are cut all the time when they are no longer worth their contract. No way a team would give a guy a new contract he isnt worth.
they didn't. He's due starter money. The renegotiated amount is less with more years. I never saw a # but that's the gist of it
After his release, Murray was quoted as saying he can still be a top back or a featured back in the league.
There aren't many franchise backs available in free agency. It's largely third down back scat back types. He could make his money as a fill-in because the market is in his favor. Usually though, when players overstate their price, they wind up signing cheap deals late after they've accepted their age as a limitation.
With the latter in mind, I'm making a weird prediction- an almost Pats Titans swap of RBs. I think JRob wants (at least) one of BB's free agent RBs and that Murray (especially if cheap) is exactly the type of guy BB would like to add to his team.

Good fits for Murray, imo:

PHI again

I bought on Demarco last year. Best case scenario he gets 800 yards and vultures 10 touchdowns?

No chance with PHI. He could have stayed when Pederson was hired, but forced his way out/demanded a trade. Hindsight, obviously a bad call on his part.

Noooooooooo!! My boy CMC needs a chance to run. Give him 20 carries with 4-6 receptions, I swear he’ll dominate with those touches. Norv will screw this up for sure.
Side story. I was REALLY high on Sproles coming into the league and drafted him early and often in all league types back in his SDC days. League mates would joke about my love of Sproles and Norv just could never figure it out. I feel bad for CAR fans. Norv Turner is gonna blow it big time. I hope I’m wrong.

I think Murray could definitely grind out one more good year in GB. That sounds like an ideal landing spot for Fantasy, for both Rodgers and Murray. Assuming he’d be the workhorse.

Voted off the Island:
PHI again
I refuse to put CAR on the island. I don't think it makes sense for CAR either.

I had no idea what to value him at so I offered the 4.1 for him in a 10 team PPR start 2 RB Superflex and it was rejected without a counter. I am not sure I could offer a second and I don't think he'll take a third.

I don't own him in dynasty but I'm guessing most owners won't do much until they see where he lands. At least you shouldn't expect to get him for nothing right now until his situation is more clear. If I owned him, he'd be worth holding onto for the chance he gets a starting role in GB or IND with a healthy Luck.

It makes absolutely perfect sense for them. He is a grinder that will give you 15 carries a game. A yin to CMacs yang

Agreed...if there is no one in the draft they feel strongly about filling that role he would be a nice fit for a year...

Ummm norv had lt and turner in front of sproles....sproles is a bit player.
Cmc has his role as well but carolina is going to add a bigger back...draft or fa...

There is not a team he can’t help...all depends on what he is looking for...does he want more money, a place where he has a chance of being a #1 or Is it a chance to get a ring...if he is willing to reduce his role and play for an affordable contract he would be a great add to any contender...he is on the back 9 but I think he still has some gas left in the tank...I would love to see the Pats make a play for him...

He did an awesome job with the young players and teaching them how to win and work and what NFL commitment means and all that intangible stuff. I don't think he wants to go to a perennial loser even if they added free agents, but...if he could help their mindset the way he helped the Titans, it'd be a great signing for them. The Titans and Browns were picks 1 and 2 before Murray

Totally agree. He’ll never be what he was in ‘14 with Dallas, but he’s still a pretty good player. Would love to have him on my team. Would make a nice 1-2 punch with Drake in Miami.

I'm really surprised Murray is still unsigned. Has he done anything off the field to damage his value? While his 2017 season was a big step down from '16, he was battling some nagging injuries and stiff competition from Henry. Wouldn't Mia and NYG have been much better off with Murray than with Gore and Stewart? After the draft, no teams appear to have gaping holes to fill at RB; do the Colts seem to have the most need?
Yeah, the Colts have to sign him... right? I'm no Murray superfan, but even at 30 he's got to be better than Mack.

Murray needs to stop hanging around with ADP til he gets signed. I don't think either will lower their price while they boast of the good ol days
Since he is an exceptional pass blocker and unsigned still, I think rookie camps will trigger discussions. Most rookies can't pick up the blitz and it's always a smack of reality for teams.
Next step, if still unsigned, I suppose will be to replace an injured guy.
Backup QB depth and quality is atrocious in the NFL. I think his value in keeping the starting QB upright will get him some work.

He's going to screw a rookie. Still think Ronald Jones is a distinct possibility.
Like I just said to my league mates, he’s as retired as Lynch and Cutler were. If Gurley tore his acl today and the Rams called, Murray would take the call. That said, he’s not actively shopping himself so owners of Packers and Colts RBs can maybe stop looking over their shoulder for the hidden boogie man coming to take the job

Totally agree. I'm sure he is working out, ready for the call once the first training camp injury hits.

Opened this thread hoping he signed somewhere. Disappointed to see he's retiring. I have a HUGE hole at RB and hoped to get something out of him this year.

No kidding, football players are weird like that. Since he is not available anymore, he is now more available? Playing hard to get? ####, I don't know.
