The communication may have gone something like this: Beane calls Murray's agent: "Hi, this is Brandon Beane, GM of the Buffalo Bills. I'd like to find out if your client, DeMarco Murray, would have any interest in joining our team." Agent: "Let me find out and get back to you." Agent contacts Murray: "DeMarco, I just got a call from the Buffalo Bills asking if you'd be interested in joining them." Murray, knowing the Bills had two of their top offensive linemen retire and question marks at the QB and WR positions: "What?! Hell no!! Tell them I retired!" 1

HA ...don't think so......Rex and Rob hired him as a"Line Coach" at Golden Corral....all you can eat......hell even an endorsement as the new Michelin Man could be some serious coin....

Happy Posted July 13, 2018 Posted July 13, 2018 Good for DeMarco Murray. He hasn't been effective since he left Dallas and ran behind that OLine a couple of years ago.

fansince88 Posted July 13, 2018 Posted July 13, 2018 I dont think it will matter. Shady wont be going anywhere

He had 99 fewer carries than in '14 with the Cowboys. Last year Henry became the man at RB, but he was still decent as the 2nd guy. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/M/MurrDe00.htm

But would you want Murray now, IF he did not announce his retirement? I personally would not.

NewEra Posted July 14, 2018 Posted July 14, 2018 Good. I really want to see Adrian Peterson in a Bills uniform even if he isn’t the same guy he was. The Bills are known for their RBs. Let’s add another HoF to our history books. He’s better than ivory, and I’m a fan of ivory. Would prefer if ivory wasn’t our lead back if shady is suspended. Too bad mcbeane probably wouldn’t want a guy that whooped on his kid

billsfan89 Posted July 14, 2018 Posted July 14, 2018 I thought he could have had one more productive season. His 2016 with the Titans was a strong season, he fell off a lot in 2017 and being banged up a bit didn't help. I thought maybe at age 30 with only 7 years and well under 2,000 carries he could be worth kicking the tires on.
The Wiz Posted July 14, 2018 Posted July 14, 2018 You mean he didn't sign with us and then retire? Rookie mistake there.
