Murray had his his best season in the league during his era with the Dallas Cowboys. He marked over 1,800 rushing yards and 400 receiving yards in the 2014 season n route.

The 30-year-old Murray made the ProBowl three times during his NFL career. The retirement decision will have a huge impact on following events. Let’s not forget that he was named the Offensive Player of the Year in 2014, and also had other accolades.

Retirement news are always the beginning of something huge. Most players become part of a massive industry, while other run private businesses. How will Murray handle his post-retirement period? We believe he will make a good choice, and become even more successful. The NFL is left without an awesome player, but that leaves place for young talents.

Good luck, Murray, you deserve it!
