Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted February 21, 2015 Report Posted February 21, 2015 @AdamSchefter: As he prepares to be a free agent, Cowboys LB Rolando McClain facing 4-game fine for violating substance abuse policy, per @toddarcher and I Quote
badndn Posted February 22, 2015 Report Posted February 22, 2015 Anyone think another team will offer big money for Ro with all his question marks or do the Cowboys hold all the cards in this negotiation? Quote
baddog Posted February 22, 2015 Report Posted February 22, 2015 What substance was abused? Just curious. Quote
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted February 22, 2015 Author Report Posted February 22, 2015 What substance was abused? Just curious. Nobody is letting it out, im curious as well. Im pretty sure if it was really bad Dallas would have cut him already. Quote
HurricaneCal Posted February 22, 2015 Report Posted February 22, 2015 Nobody is letting it out, im curious as well. Im pretty sure if it was really bad Dallas would have cut him already. Isn't he gonna be a free agent with a 4 game suspension looming? Quote

All we will hear every game is how he beat his kid. Need to keep Murray. If, for some reason, they take Peterson, then they should have money to go after a Charles Haley type defensive lineman. This is the Cowboys' main need. Quote
Ty Cobb Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 Suspension I don't think its a suspension. It sounds like he will be fined an amount that will equal 4 game checks. Mr. Buddy Garrity 1 Quote
HurricaneCal Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 Actually opened up a couple of articles titled 4 game suspension but it says in the articles that it is his 3rd failed test so it's a 4 game fine. 4th failed test would be automatic 4 game suspension. Mr. Buddy Garrity 1 Quote

This must have happened when alot of folks wasn't around. The Vikings have all the power here, AP will not be in Dallas next year. The Vikings will either keep him or trade him, and they are likely to ask a kings ransom, 1st round and more. The cowboys would not be able to handle his contract, its much higher than what they would have to pay Murray to keep him. Quote
baddog Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 What are some of the offers Murray has had? Quote
SKINS Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 What are some of the offers Murray has had? Cowboy's offered 16 million over 4 years. Quote
baddog Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 Yes, Peterson commands lots of money. However, I was thinking he has baggage, this is his 8th season, and lots of teams may NOT want him, which could bring the price down tremendously. I want Murray anyway. Quote

The vikings have already said they want him next year, so they are not going to negotiate for trade offers, they are going to ask for to much and hope someone will pull the trigger. If no one does, then you still have the best back from in the league. Quote

And I don't think he'll command as much as murray will after the season murray just had, combined with the lack of a season AP just had. Quote

And I don't think he'll command as much as murray will after the season murray just had, combined with the lack of a season AP just had.You said it...almost a decade. Thats a long long time in RB years. I wouldn't give more than a fourth rd pick for the guy at his age. You might get two good years out of him...maybe. Think Ricky Williams after his hiatus. One good year and a few so-so years, but nothing to brag about. Bigdog 1 Quote
TxHoops Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 I can't imagine AP commanding squat on the market. Neither will Minnesota be able to in trying to deal him. Nobody is going to want to pay his contract with them. The Vikings biggest issue will be finding someone who will take a $15M cap hit for the upcoming season. He's also scheduled to make $15M and $17M in '16 and '17 but it looks like those years are past his guarantee. Translation: As I'm sure was contemplated when this deal got done, he ain't getting paid that kind of money in those seasons... Quote
