Saints release veteran RB Latavius Murray days before season opener vs. Packers, per report

I guess we'll never know how much of a pay cut the SAINTS were trying to get out of him, but if he signs for much less than $4M elsewhere, you have to wonder why he wouldn't just take the cut and stay in a familiar place. Maybe he saw the 'Tony Jones' writing on the wall and the inevitability of 3rd string.

Murray hadn't played well enough to make the 53-man roster...

Announcing intention of releasing him then, during the frenzy, may have gotten the team a late Day 3 pick...

Pretty what I saw too. It's no secret but RB's historically decline at or around age 30. I didn' see much of the burst at camp/pre season. Jones Jr simply looked and performed better. These coaches know.

I wish Latavius well up in Baltimore though.

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- The Baltimore Ravens reached a one-year agreement with running back Latavius Murray
as they quickly scramble to patch up an injury-ravaged backfield before the regular season begins, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Friday.

I liked what LM brought to the game but it the grand scheme for the team it cleared money to bring in a #2 CB opposite Lattimore and that is win. Wish him the best where ever he ends up … except Atlanta 🤣

Hopefully LM does better in Baltimore than Ingram did.

So... Baltimore is to us for kickers as we are to them for RBs?

Yeah, they want unknowns or subpar just like some of our fans.
