Oakland Raiders running back Latavius Murray, the Silver and Black’s go-to back over the last two seasons, is now expected to test the free agent market come March 9, leaving the Raiders no choice but to seek out his replacement this offseason.
Though “the door will remain open” for Murray’s return to Oakland, the Raiders will not be able to afford the Murray that walks back through their door after he sees the dollar figures thrown his way this offseason.
Combining for 1,854 yards and 18 touchdowns as the Raiders’ lead back in 2015 and 2016, Murray should draw an annual salary north of $6 million.
