The Facts: Murray is set for unrestricted free agency and the Raiders have an interesting decision to make here. Murray scored 12 touchdowns and averaged 4.0 yards per carry as the leader of a three-back pack, and should draw interest on the open market. If he re-signs, the Raiders seem set at running back. Murray insists he wants to return, but another team may offer a deal the Raiders don't want to match. That scenario could lead to his departure and a new power back in free agency or the draft.

Diehards Line: The Raiders had a top 10 offense this season, with balance uncharacteristic of previous seasons. The run game got going behind an expensive offensive line worth its massive weight, and quarterback Derek Carr led a dynamic air attack always cool under pressure. They’ll want to keep a good thing going, a point made clear by general manager Reggie McKenzie on Thursday. "When you're talking about a guy who is 6-foot-3, close to 230 pounds, there's not a whole lot of similar you can get there," McKenzie said of Murray. "He's one of those kinds that don't come around too often when you talk about size. ... We'll see where it goes, but we like to re-sign our guys." As CSNBayArea.com's Scott Bair notes, the Raiders have productive, yet smaller options in Jalen Richard and DeAndre Washington. The Raiders have been good drafting backs in the lower rounds – Murray was a sixth-round pick himself – and could mine for more production later in the NFL draft.
