Quote:Money talks.

 

If it comes down to strictly money talking, he'll be a Raider or a Jaguar.  Dallas hasn't backed away from saying they want him back.  They're just not willing to meet his price.  In the end, no team willl, but Oakland and Jacksonville have the resources to come closer than Dallas does. They don't have a ton of money to work with, and either of their competitors could structure a deal in such a way that there's no way Dallas would be able to come close. 

 

From my perspective, I hope it doesn't come down to that.  I'm lukewarm on this deal to begin with because I think we can probably use that cap space elsewhere to help plug additional holes, but if we get a productive back in his prime, and he's not suddenly falling off a cliff, it's a smart play.  Still, there are options in the draft that could serve the same purpose for significantly less.  Clearly, the Jags don't think they've got a shot at landing one of those guys, or they don't think there'd be an immediate impact if they did, so Murray is on their radar. 

 

We'll see soon enough how this plays out.
