Quote:What major injury history? Murray did not miss many games in his career for medical reasons.

 

FYI 27 is not "closing in on 30." It is closing in on 28, which is not a bad age for a running back.

 

His salary probably is the big issue. He wants $8 million per year and nobody wants to pay him that much.

 

What major injury history? Ankle in 2011, foot in 2012, knee in 2013. It's quite likely he played through an injury or two at the end of the season since it was a contract year, and his production at the end of the season was much lesser than at the start. He had 3.7 yards per carry or less in three out of the last five games of the 2014 season, and before that point he didn't have a single game that low or lower. It's not like he was going up against great defenses, either. One of those bad performances was against the colts in a game that the colts got beaten down in by the rest of the cowboys.
