Should be a cap hit of $2.956 million in 2017 for Murray. For real? $2M less than the Dough Boy? That's a value signing. |

The biggest difference and advantage Murray offers is in the passing game and that should not be overlooked. IMO what they need most without AP and Asiata on the roster is a guy who can help in short yardage but having that same guy still be available as a pass blocker or receiver when he is on the field.
The question is how much better than Asiata is he as a short yardage/receiving option, and how much better than AP is he as a receiver and blocker? I think they found a guy that blends the better parts of AP and Asiata into one package. He may not be the pure RB that AP is, but he is far better doing the things AP struggled with. That is what makes him a good fit, now go get Joe in April.

 Ben Goessling @goesslingespn 31m Even if there's no AD, PA says the "He's loose!" call stays. Paul Allen @paonthemic The call never was AP-exclusive. Greenway, Percy, Robison, Patterson, Jerick, Jarius all have received the treatment. @lataviusm is next.

Well, we know he can sign his name and put on a cap, so that's a good sign I guess |

No one will hold it against me if I laugh at this will they......   NFL Research @nflresearch 34m Over the last 2 seasons, Latavius Murray has more production than Adrian Peterson in large part to playing 11 more games in that span |

Paul Allen @paonthemic
Whew! Glad that was cleared up. I know that was the first thing that came to my mind with this signing.

Excited to be blocking in front of this guy. Class act, and a great player. 2017 season can't come soon enough. #SKOL
