After getting cut by the Tennessee Titans, running back DeMarco Murray is once again looking for a new destination in free agency. The 30-year-old veteran still believes he can be a feature back for a contender, and he might've found the perfect fit in the Seattle Seahawks.
According to the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Murray is visiting with the Seahawks on Wednesday.
Previously, the franchise appeared to be all-in on longtime Carolina Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart, but he eventually chose to sign with the New York Giants. Both Stewart and Murray averaged under four yards per carry in the 2017 season.
Seattle's struggles with their rushing attack extend far beyond the running back position, but they're still intent on bringing in a proven ballcarrier to hopefully shift the tide.
Murray's best days are behind him, but when healthy, he was still productive for the Titans over the last two years. He led the NFL in rushing when he was still with Dallas in 2014, compiling 1,845 yards on the ground. Of course, the wear and tear of one season in professional football is monstrous, let alone four. If Seattle does pick up Murray, they shouldn't stop looking for more pieces to load up the depth chart at RB.
In letting Murray walk, the Titans have given the metaphorical keys to the car to Alabama product Derrick Henry. Toward the ends of the 2017 season, Henry took on a larger role and performed admirably, contributing greatly to Tennessee's Wild Card round upset of the Kansas City Chiefs.
