The Facts: Murray is set to become a free agent and said Monday that he didn’t know how things would play out with the Cowboys. He declined to answer a question about how much he wanted to return and said that his mind hadn’t moved on from the loss to the Packers just yet. “I’m not worried about my future. I just lost a big game, the biggest game of my life. Just not worried about it right now,” Murray said.
Diehards Line:Murray closed his year with 25 carries for 123 yards and a touchdown, the 13th time in 18 games that Murray finished with at least 100 rushing yards. The touchdown was his 15th, but Murray’s day also included a lost fumble for the sixth time since September. As PFT suggests, the positives outweighed the negatives, although forecasting what all of it means for Murray’s future in Dallas isn’t easy. Murray led the league in rushing, played all 16 games and has a few years to go before he hits 30. He was also used heavily, ran behind a strong offensive line and plays a position that has generally not proven worth big, long-term outlays of cash. Add this to the list of soap-opera storylines we'll be following in coming weeks.
