Murray would be crazy to go anywhere else.
They have arguably the top offensive line in the league. It is amazing how they have rebuilt that line through the draft so quickly.
The money would have to be way above the norm for Murray to want to leave. However, that great offensive line that Dallas does have also plays into their favor when negotiating with him.

A lot of cash. Don't know how effective he will be with kap as opposed to flacco but we needed him. Still we need to draft a receiver.
@King of Kings
What are your thoughts on how things are shaping up and our chances next season. The rams will improve with foles, cardinals get iupati and the seahawks seem to have all the money in the world.. Graham will help them.
It is still very very early.
The biggest positional downgrade from those players who left or retired is Willis to Borland, despite the latter having a terrific rookie season. Iupati will be replaced by Brandon Thomas, who had a 1st round grade last year until he injured his knee just before the draft. Crabtree is replaced by Smith, who doesn't have the hands that Crabtree does, but is far more dangerous with the ball in his hands. Frank Gore's replacement is already in house with Carlos Hyde, and there are talks that they may bring in Reggie Bush to be a change of pace back. Justin Smith is replaced by Darnell Dockett, and if the guy is healthy, he is at worst, on the same level as justin Smith
The biggest drawback are the intangibles that Willis, Gore, and Smith brought to the locker room.
The Niners have a lot of young talent due to the stockpiling of picks for the last 2 years, and now it is time for them to put it together. If I had to put a team together right now, here is what it would be.
Defense (3-4)
Carradine- Dorsey/Williams- Dockett
A.Smith-Bowman-Borland-Lynch
Brock- Bethea-Reid- Who the fuck knows at this point
Offense
Boldin Staley-Thomas-Martin-Boone-Davis V. Davis Ellington Smith
Kaepernick
Hyde
Yes, a 3WR spread offense.
