DeMarco Murray News
Free-agent running back DeMarco Murray announced his retirement on Friday at the age of 30, according to a source. He's calling it quits after nagging injuries held him to 184 carries for 659 yards (career-low 3.6 yards per carry) and six touchdowns in 15 games with the Titans in 2017. Murray reached the 1,000-yard mark three times in his seven-year career, including a career-best 1,845 yards with 13 touchdowns on the ground with Dallas in 2014. The former third-round pick hangs them up and finishes with 7,174 yards (4.5 yards per carry) and 49 touchdowns in his career.
Tennessee Titans running back DeMarco Murray will be released, according to Jim Wyatt of TitansOnline.com. "I want to thank DeMarco for his contributions as a Titan, not only for what he did on the field but also in the locker room and in the community," Titans general manager Jon Robinson said in a statement. "He was a pro in every facet and we wish him and his family the best moving forward." Murray, who joined the Titans prior to the 2016 season, ran for 659 yards and six touchdowns last season on 184 carries in 2017. Derrick Henry led the Titans with 774 yards and five touchdowns on 176 carries. The former Heisman Trophy winner at the University of Alabama also caught 11 passes for 136 yards and a touchdown. Henry looks to be a top-15 (and potentially top-10) RB leading into 2018.
Tennessee Titans running back DeMarco Murray was ineffective throughout 2017, and ESPN Titans reporter Cameron Wolfe predicts Tennessee will release Murray this offseason. It is a logical and expected move that will save the Titans $6.5 million against the salary cap in 2018. Murray was great in 2016 but battled injuries all of 2017, missed the playoffs and turns 30 next week. Derrick Henry will then be freed up as the unquestioned lead back, while the Titans can add a third-down, pass-catching type to complement him under new offensive coordinator Matt LaFleur.
