Official statement from Jerrah:

QuoteWe are very grateful to DeMarco Murray for his contributions to the Dallas Cowboys. He is a quality person, a very good football player, and a player that we wanted to keep.
We have great appreciation for his skills, and if there was no salary cap in place, DeMarco would be a Cowboy. This came down to an allocation of dollars within the management of the salary cap.
Obviously there is emotion involved in these decisions, but it is critical that there be must be discipline involved as well. If it were a question of having an open checkbook with no salary cap constraints, we all know things would have worked out differently.
We have recently made significant commitments to top players who are currently on the team, specifically at key positions such as quarterback, left tackle and wide receiver, and we were comfortable with the offer that we made to DeMarco to include him in that structure.
These are difficult decisions that are part of the NFL. They are decisions that take into account the entire team, the current economic structure of the team, and the financial concerns for the short and long term future of the team.
At the end of the day, this is about finding the best way to collectively fit all of the individual pieces together, in terms of talent, offensive players, defensive players and dollars—under the salary cap structure—that gives you the best chance to have a championship team.

Wait a damn minute here

Why were there people cheering at his press conference? Did they let fans in? That's farging cheesy and should never be done again. I hate it when colleges do that shtein when they hire new coaches.

those jersey's are gross. teal. yuck.
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

The panel with the numbers isn't even the same color as the rest of it.

The man. The myth. The legend.

It was cringeworthy and I never have seen that in an NFL PC before - terrible!

and Eskin was in rare form today -- pushing Murray on the SB question and having him laugh at him and interrupting someone to keep hounding on it?

And then he asked Chip about Mariota and Chip laughed at him too

If people are cheering at a press conference, they're employees 99% of the time or super drunk press the other 1%.

The man. The myth. The legend.
