Looks like Murray rubbed the Jags FO the wrong way with the games he's playing.

I don't understand what the Raiders or Eagles are doing. Raiders have an up and coming guy in their own Murray, and also signed Helu who is a good third down back. Eagles already have Sproles and just signed Mathews.

I assume he's just out of their price range.

I don't think there's any animosity.

 

I think we have a number (just like we did with Mack) and we're comfortable sticking to it.

 

I also think that's the right move.

 

If he won't pull his reserve price, then no sale.

Murray - Unproven

Helu - third down back, you said it

Sproles - Old

Mathews - Always injured

 

Comprende?

So Mathews signed to be a backup? Sproles was one of their best players last year.

probably.

 

you set a top amount youre willing to pay and you take a shot. if he isnt interested in the deal .... then thats fine. 

 

you dont want to start getting silly with your money. yeah you have it to spend, but dont want to overpay.

From the bits and pieces of the DeMarco Murray contract negotiations I've seen in this thread and on some other websites,  my gut feeling is he's using the Jaguars and Raiders as contract leverage to sign with the Cowboys or Eagles.   While I understand the business side of the equation,  it doesn't seem like he truly wants to play for the Jaguars or Raiders.   Otherwise,  this probably would have been resolved by now.

I'm guessing he hasn't received the offer he wanted from any team and is playing them off of one another in hopes of getting to that number. That number is too high for Jacksonville and they're dropping back.

There is nothing great about it and no reason to be happy either.

<p class="" style="color:rgb(41,47,51);font-family:'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">DeMarco Murray knows where the Cowboys and Jaguars stand. He's looking for more ($8M-plus per year). Market hasn't gone there.

If nobody offers the salary he wants, who does he pick?
