The NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport is reporting via his sources — that odds are slim that DeMarco Murray is brought back to Dallas on a new contract.
Over the weekend, team vice president Stephen Jones told FOX Sports Southwest the Cowboys plan to let DeMarco Murray test free agency “and then we’ll talk and see.”
It’s a bold view from the Cowboys — essentially banking on Tony Romo and the passing game — while believing a feature back like Adrian Peterson — or a committee might replace him.
He had an outstanding season in 2014, with 1,845 yards on 392 carries in the regular season plus 18 total games played despite a broken hand that slowed down his production only minimally.
He also just turned 27-years-old.
