Latavius Murray

TBD.

Latavius Murray will be the player to watch for the Raiders in free agency.

In 2015, Murray was a Pro Bowl alternate, hitting the 1000-yard mark. In 2016, Murray notched 788 yards and 12 touchdowns while sharing carries with rookies Jalen Richard and DeAndre Washington.

Murray isn’t a fan favorite, with many complaining about his inability to create more yards or make more people miss. But Murray is who he is, and the reduced touches didn’t bring about complaints.

But simply put, it’s on Murray if he stays or goes. As long as he doesn’t demand a ridiculous amount of money, it’s reasonable to say he will be back. But GM Reggie Mckenzie may decide that their are other fish in the sea.

It’s too early to call which way this will go.
