This offseason, the Dallas Cowboys drew a line in the sand when it came to running back DeMarco Murray. Despite rushing for a league-leading 1,845 yards last season, the Cowboys front office refused to pay the free agent top dollar due to his vast injury history. The 27-year old running back, sensing this may be his last chance at a big pay day, looked elsewhere to secure both his financial and football future. Four games into the NFL’s regular season, it appears both parties were wrong.
Was the Cowboys front office wrong for wanting to be fiscally responsible?
