Cowboys Rumors: DeMarco Murray Not Ready To Talk About Contract Yet

Dallas Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray is set to become a free agent in the coming months, but he says he's still not ready to talk about a contract extension with Dallas.

“I don’t know, I don’t know yet – it’s too early,” he said. “I’m just hanging out, relaxing with my family and enjoying life.”

Murray led the NFL isn rushing with 1,845 yards and 13 rushing touchdowns this past season, and figures to become one of the highest paid backs in the league.

“Honestly, I haven’t gotten that far,” he said. “It’s only been a week and a half, two weeks removed from the season, so I’m still kind of fresh for me from the way it ended. I haven’t gotten that far yet.”

The Cowboys want to re-sign Murray, but they have made re-signing star wide receiver Dez Bryant the top priority. Still, Murray says he would like to return to the Cowboys next season.

“Those are guys that I’ve spent my entire career with, those are guys that I’ve become great friends with. I consider them my brothers, and I love playing with those guys,” he said. “We all play well together and we have a good thing going. You never know what’s going to happen, we’ll see what happens. But all you can do is hope for the best.”
