Broncos sign Murray off the practice squad

Remember a few years ago that Murray came up for extension and the Saints wouldn't meet the figure he requested, so he was cut.

Murray evidently knows the business and used the last game as springboard, I can't really fault him. He was better than Ingram and was never really compensated accordingly.

We have neglected him on numerous occasions……good for him, hope he has a great season. Don’t blame him one bit. Our loss, it’s better we keep our perennial back ups and no names on the roster

Don't forget any team in the league could have signed him last week. He wasn't even looked at by the other 31 teams as a backup until AFTER the Saints picked him up.

So, what’s your point? He’s on to another team, and your still trying create a discussion that’s moot…….

My point is that the discussion was moot. Murray made a decision to go to the Broncos. Any discussion over what the Saints did or didn't do doesn't matter.

Negative. He wasn't looked at until he performed.

This is true. Had he stunk it up he wouldn't have been looked at.

It was really a matter of timing. Had the Broncos not lost their RB1 to a season ending injury on Sunday, Murray would have likely still been on the Saints practice squad. Murray would have been foolish to turn down any Denver offer since he could make far more than the Saints could offer him as a backup to Kamara. As it was he did turn down an offer from the Saints to leave. I'm curious as to what his contract is going to look like. Denver has among the most cap space available in the league.
