Murray prepared for possible break from Cowboys

[Elias]

We have a ton of cap space. I do not mind signing him to a decent deal where after a few years he would be cuttable. A tandem of Ivory and Murray could be dominant.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones acknowledged last week it will be a challenge to bring back Dez Bryant and DeMarco Murray in 2015.

Both offensive stars are on track to reach free agency and the Cowboys' salary-cap situation likely doesn't allow the team to hand out two lucrative long-term deals.

Conventional wisdom has Bryant being the first priority for the Cowboys. If so, there's a very real possibility we have a unique situation in which the NFL's rushing champion changes teams in the offseason.

"Those guys know how I am as a person and I understand that business aspect," Murray told ESPN.com from the Pro Bowl hotel in Arizona. "I don't get butt-hurt. I don't get my feelings hurt. I believe in myself and what I'm capable of doing and whoever it is I'm playing for next year, I know I'm going to make a huge impact."

"I've thought about a lot of things I haven't told anyone yet, not even my agent or not even my family," he added. "You can sit back and look at the pros and cons of many different situations and you think of yourself and think of your family in these situations."

NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported that Dallas has a four-year, $16 million pact on the table for Murray. It's a low-ball offer considering Murray's recent performance, and a good sign the running back will test the market in a couple of months.

He'll be a fascinating test case at a time when the perceived value of running backs has never been lower.

Yes the Jets have a lot of money, and yes Murray is good. I am not a fan of paying RB's a ton of money, and he is going to get lots.

RB is one of the few positions that the Jets are good with. Ivory, I'd resign Powell, and look into Spiller. As much money as the Jets have, they have an equal # of holes. Fist day after FA opens, I sign a young promising CB, maybe Kareem Jackson from Houston if Mac likes him, also Cromartie if Bowles likes him. Then I sign Mike Lupati. Then start looking for LB's, WR, maybe a RT, S.

Then maybe a RB. There won't be enough money for Murray at that point, but Spiller might be in the budget

not interested in murray.. he had an absolute ton of carries this season & at 26 he has to be looking for last big payday.. ivory, spiller & powell would be a pretty impressive trio BTW..

In my opinion I wouldn't mind us signing Murray but in all honesty we don't need him. Chris Ivory could have done what Demarco Murray did with that kind of offensive line. If we're gonna spend that much money on a player I'd rather it go to a needed position. Ivory can be great if not already considered that.
