The Raiders signed a running back already.
But they may still be in the market for a better one.
According to Ed Werder of ESPN, the Raiders are “still pursuing” Cowboys free agent DeMarco Murray, despite the addition of Roy Helu.
It’s possible the market for Murray is more robust than we’re hearing at the moment, but it clearly isn’t what the league’s leading rusher was hoping for.
While there were reports of “mutual interest” between the Eagles and Murray, Chip Kelly has brought Ryan Mathews in for a visit today and could sign him.
What that leaves for Murray is unclear at the moment, but the Raiders clearly have money to burn.
