Murray probably knew this coming in when he signed last year. They will probably re-structure a new contract and move on.

Totally agree with this.

Murray is no fool, he knew this was coming, but he also knows now that he is still a starter on some team in the NFL. He won't be here.

He's gone.

You could be right, but I think it depends what the Vikings offer. If they restructure his $5M so it's spread over the next two years instead of just 2018, he might stick around - especially if he likes the team and likes winning.
I appreciate his contribution last year, but I don't think he changed the way he is viewed around the NFL: his 2017 stats were really similar to his 2016. I doubt he is seen as more than a committee RB by most teams.

I disagree. RBs are easy to find in the draft and in FA. Murray got better as the season progressed, but I don't see anyone breaking the bank for him, much less making him their starter. He's more of a complementary back at this point in his career (in my opinion, anyway).

He should stay here. He’s not going to make that much more on the market, close to a championship, and will be playing with a brand new QB.

Jerick McKinnon - RB - Free Agent

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports the Bucs are interested in free agent Jerick McKinnon.
The Bucs, who have a wide-open backfield, would be an excellent landing spot for a back who has said he wants more work. Free agency is off to a fast start but it could be typically slow-developing for running backs.

Makes sense, but I'm hoping he takes the cut and stays. If he doesn't, Vikings will probably add a free agent. Free agent backs are a dime a dozen right now. And we'll draft one fairly early. 3rd or 4th I'm guessing.

Penny for your thoughts...

Pops I'm sorry to see that. Your boy had some awesome plays last season.
I hope things work out! Prayers
