Like I said I would look at Demarco for a cheap deal, and then draft a guy in the 3rd or so. If not then I want Guice in the 1st but after a trade down situation.


Cooley and Kevin made me come around on Murray a bit. As long as it’s a reasonable deal there’s no doubt he would be an upgrade and we could still draft someone. And he knows Callahan well.

Yeah that's the deal there, he was great with Bill in Dallas, he's 30 but other guys have stayed productive at 30, Forte, Faulk, Martin etc. It can be done.

I listened to the same Cooley broadcast as Matty.

If he can actually make the right read and cut, and press the edge, 30 or not, he would be better than anyone on the roster in 1st and 2nd downs. CT excluded of course.

I would be for very short term deal.

2 year deal for like 6M seems like a solid deal for him. 3m a year for a 30 yo RB isn't too bad.

wouldn't mind murray at the right price, of course. RB is a tricky position for us right now it seems. Do you draft one in the first? I can't see that being touted as that pressing of a need for the FO brass or Jay but who knows what kind of smoke screens they are throwing up.

I would rather us just draft someone in the first two rounds and have our guy for the future.

I still believe Perine can get better but he will never be a back that scares a defense, he's more of a truckload short yardage guy.. I'm all for drafting a RB but I still think we should trade down to do that, unless Barkley was at 13 (which is not happening)

Why get DeMarco Murray when we can get AP?

Arizona Cardinals expected to release RB Adrian Peterson on Monday (http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/22731203/arizona-cardinals-expected-release-rb-adrian-peterson-monday)

If those two don't work out, I'm sure there's another old running back seeking one more payday before his legs give out that we can bring in.

AD is 33 , and has had way more wear and tear.

True, however I don't see the need to invest in any running backs whose best days are behind them.
