Quote:I'm not convinced Murray is worthwhile even for a short term.

Look at that list of top # of carries in a season. Click on the player's names, and look at the following seasons. Most of them dropped off sharply the next season. The ones that didn't played in the 1980's.

I admittedly don't know the answer - but, how many of those guys were expected to follow up with a similar crazy number of carries?  As I've said before - Murray could have the luxury of a "kid gloves" off season in Jax followed by a dramatically reduced # of carries in the reg. season.  I could see that working out well.  Still....  despite our cap-space - I don't see him as a priority signing.  More of a luxury due to the money available. Whether he's worth the gamble in that regard is a question for Caldwell.  We don't know - but he seems to think it's worth trying.
