Is ex-Eagle running back DeMarco Murray already a thing of the past in Tennessee?
Titans general manager Jon Robinson’s decision to draft running back Alabama running back Derrick Henry No. 45 overall was surprising because Murray, whom the Birds traded, is guaranteed $12 million over the next three seasons in Tennessee.
Titans coach Mike Mularkey insists that Murray will still “carry the load” for the Titans, but it is curious Tennessee drafted such a similar one-cut power back.
Both players would love to be high volume backs and that is less likely to happen for both of them over the next few years.
