MacMahon: Murray 'best running back in the world'

We will have to give a stud CB like Claiborne his money.

I have to make sure you people are paying attention every now and then.

I'd even franchise Murray.

I just have no interest in signing him long term. He has an injury history and his position is very fungible.

It is nothing personal, I like the player but you have to be realistic in how he fits overall.

We have Bryant coming due. We will have to give a stud CB like Claiborne his money.

Even players coming off of good years like Moreno were cheap in FA this past offseason.

The days of giving RBs big money are over.

Moreno should actually be a pretty good comparison. Dude was injury prone (as is Murray), an early draft pick, and had a monster year that was at least in part due to the offense that he played in. With this O-line, we don't need a stud running back (and very few of those guys exist). If Murray wants big bucks, just move on and draft a guy in the 3rd or 4th round. If he's willing to accept a reasonable deal, sign him for 3 years.

No interest in signing a RB to a megadeal. None.

I like Murray, but to me it is the OL making him and not the other way around.

Murray is not special - at all - it's the offensive line. Be like Denver used to be. Just cycle guys in and out and make them look like world-beaters as we trade them away.
