kris_kapsner Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 There has been some conjecture regarding the potential release of DeMarco Murray due to a relatively large salary due in 2018. It seemed like Murray, though Henry is talented, is the most diverse and talented RB that the Titans have and could lead a nice 1-2 punch between the two. He was injured early in 2017 and I wonder if he ever recovered this season. I expect Murray to come back strong next season if given the opportunity. What are some of your thoughts?

dtait93 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 No thanks, his burst is gone and his vision is gone. He can be a good 3rd down back elsewhere given how good of a pass catcher he is and how well he reads defenses and picks up blitzes, but because we have Henry, we need someone faster and quicker that can serve as a change of pace back.

TitanRedd Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Only way I want Murray back is if he takes a 4mill dollar pay cut & accepts a role as a 3rd down back/ backup no more lead back or committee backfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overwhelming Underdog Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I would expect us to cut him and draft a guy in the mid rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AirMcNair Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 It really makes you wonder, was it worth it to trade for him in the first place? He did seem like an amazing pickup at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overwhelming Underdog Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 He was really good last season. I don't know if Henry was ready for the full load last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did seem like an amazing pickup at the time. It was certainly worth it. He gave us a very good season last year and we basically got him for nothing. Wasn’t his fault that Mularkey and Robiskie ran him into the ground this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did seem like an amazing pickup at the time. I think he was worth it, 18-14 over two years and in year 1 he was one of the best in the league. He's getting up there but he served the team well. 6 hours ago, TitanRedd said: Only way I want Murray back is if he takes a 4mill dollar pay cut & accepts a role as a 3rd down back/ backup no more lead back or committee backfield On the flip side, I highly doubt he'd do this. I'd rather pay Dion Lewis or Jerrick McKinnon $4-5M/year than Murray $2-3M at this rate. More upside and bring something different than Henry, better compliments that could carry a larger load if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titans fan 617 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Thank you love him mean it but time to move on. Lewis McKinnon Or Burkhead are my top 3 if we go the FA route Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttitansfan4life Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I’d pass on the FA for a RB. The draft is loaded with RBs so getting a guy in the 3rd-5th round is a strong possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragevsuall17 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Simple answer... Not at that salary. And there is no dead cap hit for cutting him, so... But it could get more complicated than that. He's definitely a better fit in what I think is going to be be LaFleur's offense than Henry. Henry is the better pure runner at this stage of their careers, but Murray does everything else better. If he's willing to take a paycut (doubtful), then it could be interesting...

98Eddie Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 We have plenty of cap room, so i don’t think salary should play a huge roll in the decision. Also if Henry went down, Murray is a great insurance policy. Finding a RB late isn’t as easy as it seems, if it was the league would be full of great RB talent.
