Without question. Murray was the heartbeat of the offense last year.Management may not have wanted to keep Murray but I am of the impression his rteam mates wanted him to stay.
But from the team's perspective I think it's tough to sign FA running backs because you are usually getting a lot of tread, and ironically the more you pay the greater that tread is.
I think the Cowboys were relieved, frankly, not to have to commit such a large portion of their cap to a player who's best seasons are past and whose position is absolutely loaded in the draft.
The NFL has to figure out a better way to compensate RB's and cultivate QBs. Those are two areas where the current system is broken.
