DeMarco Murray traded to Titans

Discussing on nfl network now

 

Certainly a surprising move.

Not a big fan of Murray but let's see what he's got left. But there better be some strong olinemen being brought in for him.

 

Mularkey? Solid move though. If it's a 5th or 6th, it's worth the risk and he can be a nice bridge gap RB.

 

Which RB we getting rid of, Sankey or DMC?

 

You guys act like he is 10 years pro, he just turned 28 a few weeks ago. Only had 190 carries last season, dont think he is too far past his prime. He has a few years left, at least.

 

Hoping we didn't give up too much in obtaining him. Otherwise, I'm happy that we have a legitimate NFL RB on our roster now.

 

Anything earlier than a 5th super stupid IMO.

Also suggests to me that JR has a trade for #1 pick in works to compensate for the lost pick.

 

I gotta say I really really like this trade. This guy is perfect for a Mike Mukarkey team... Even if we only get 2 good years out of him I think they will be very productive years... Assuming we can get at least halfway decent line play next year.

 

Details of his contract below. As reported by Ian Rappaport, his guaranteed amount probably wont change. Looks like he can be cut in 2018 without losing much.

1. Contrary to widespread reports, the contract has a base value of $40 million over five years. That’s the same base value as the deal signed by Bills running back LeSean McCoy.

2. Another $2 million is available based on escalators for 2016 through 2019. For each year from 2015 through 2018 in which Murray rushes for 1,250 or more yards, $250,000 is added to the following year’s salary. At 1,450, the number increases to $500,000. To get the full $2 million, Murray must rush for 1,450 or more yards in each of the next four seasons.

3. In 2015, Murray has a $5 million signing bonus, a $3 million fully guaranteed 2015 roster bonus, and a $1 million fully guaranteed base salary. That’s $9 million in total compensation for 2015, all fully guaranteed.

4. In 2016, Murray has a $7 million base salary, fully guaranteed at signing.

5. In 2017, Murray has a $500,000 roster bonus due on the third day of the league year, along with a $7.5 million base salary. $2 million is fully guaranteed at signing. Another $3 million is guaranteed for injury only at signing; it becomes fully guaranteed on the third day of the 2017 league year.

6. In 2018, Murray has a $500,000 roster bonus due on the third day of the league year, plus a non-guaranteed base salary of $7.5 million.

7. In 2019, Murray has a $500,000 roster bonus due on the third day of the league year, plus a non-guaranteed base salary of $7.5 million.

 

Both hopefully lol
