You also bring in vets to sign after week one if needed. You are locked into the full seasons salary if signed before the first game when dealing with vets. I'm thinking he may be looking for a third back to bring in if none of the young ones pan out or are ready and then bring one up from the practice squad once they show more promise.

Murray is hurt. He brought in those Vets fast. Could have done a while back.

Yes he's hurt. What is your point? He could be back anytime. It's frickin' training camp. You already pitching the doom and gloom line?

He’s been absent from several practices, otherwise nothing. Both of which are not good signs considering the importance of the role he is supposed to play. I’m calling it now, he’s another Byrd/Merideth bogus signing. On the plus side I hear good things about Washington.

I mean it’s like clockwork. Repeating the same damn thing over and over expecting different results. Same thing every year and every year Guido refuses to admit there is a problem. I hope to god he works out. I hope he shuts up all the naysayers but I’m not optimistic. I sure as hell don’t want them to have to use Kamara when it comes to chewing clock.

I Hope Murray kills it but this is a not a fire drill. Maybe it's serious, maybe it's not but it's a problem. Payton is also paranoid about RB's since the year we loss something like 5 before the season even started. Following year we got Ingram in the 1st.

THE SKY IS FALLING!! THE SKY IS FALLING!!

AS FOR BYRD IN HIS BUFFALO CAREER HE STARTED 66 GAMES PLAYED IN 73 HAD 22 INT 2 RETURNED FOR TD FORCED 11 FUMBLES

MERIDITH WAS A RISK WITH THE INJURY BUT AREN'T THE SAINTS THE TEAM THAT SIGNED A QB WHO "BLEW OUT" HIS THROWING SHOULDER?

I DON'T UNDERSTAND LETTING INGRAM GO FOR MURRAY BUT IT IS WHAT IT IS. ALL THE KINGS HORSE AND ALL THE KINGS MEN WON'T PUT HUMPTY TOGETHER AGAIN!

I also said I hope Murray kills it and maybe it's not serious but ok.

Right now he's missing training camp which is critical. This is the time to make mistakes and refine on a new offense. In order to kill it he has to get out there.

Murray is at camp and learning the offense. They have just put on pads for the first time. He's an experienced veteran. It's best he gets fully healthy. If it was anything serious I doubt he would have dressed as was reported.
