DeMarco Murray Announces Retirement

[Manster7588]

He owns a hair salon in Vegas. My guess is he'll simplify his life and be fine.

 

[Inquisitor95]

Was really a shame to see him leave Dallas. Wish that could have worked out better for both him and Dallas.

I lost all respect for Murray after he signed with the Eagles. Good riddance!!!!

????? Really????
What was he supposed to do? Not make any money? The NFL is a business and all he did was make a business decision.

 

[RobToxin]

I kinda understand that sentiment though.

Pissed,me off something fierce when Andre Johnson went to the Colts.

The money wasn't enough to put his 30 year old body through the hell of an NFL season.

He had a college and professional career riddled with injuries. I can't blame him for wanting to hang up his cleats. Some bodies just weren't made to take that kind of punishment.

I guess I'd say this is surprising. I would think he could sign with someone and still play for a couple years.
His net worth is $3 million, which isn't too much for an NFL player.

I think it's around 10 mil

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

To a point. Several websites had his worth around $3 million so I figure it is close.

He got $18MM guaranteed when he signed with the Eagles. His rookie deal was north of $3, and got a $600k signing bonus. Try looking at updated sites.

Not questioning you, but how the fuck is his net worth $3M? He made $25M cash earnings over his life... let's say 30% gone tax, 10% agent... so $15M...

Let me guess... he spent it on 'bling' and his entourage... so he'll be broke and filing for welfare in 3-5 years, looking for my tax dollars and lawsuits for CTE or some shit... great...

I'm assuming he bought extravagant cars/homes and took losses when he moved state to state? I guess $10M is fairly easy to go through in 7 years when you're spending $1M+ a year on absolute shitty investments and you think you're going to be earning $10M/year every year until you're 40? Clearly the white man is keeping him down

Murray "retired" after no one would sign him. He reportedly balked at going to tryouts with multiple backs and copped an attitude.

He will wind up on TV as a talking head. I will forever enjoy this shot of him wondering what the fuck happens inside the mind of Sam Bradford, however...

And returns in 2-3 seasoms when bamkrupt?

That sounds much more accurate.

Murray is a smart guy. He'll do fine.

Well he is a Sooner so he has to be smart guy

 

[Pure Steel]

Murray is a smart guy. He'll do fine.

His wife isn't too shabby either......

 

[boogiewithstu2007]

He shoulda stayed with the Cowboys, they had some chemistry building right around the time he left ...

More like after training camp.

Can't drug test retired guys.

Dallas was only offering about 4M a year. No way was Murray signing that contract.

no but look what it got him a bet on himself, and a crash

 

[ill]

Sorry Chip Kelly fucked up your career, DeMarco.

Best of luck.
