Latavius Murray, a running back with the New Orleans Saints, reportedly refused to take a pay cut and is now a free agent.
Although the $2.95 million base salary the UCF product was expected to earn in 2021 “is a lot to pay a backup running back,” Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk suggested he will attract interest given his performance last season.
As he told USA Today’s Josina Anderson, “I’m willing to discuss an opportunity with anyone interested in me.”
Is Latavius Murray going to play Week 16?
Yes, he is very active in Week 16.
Why did Latavius Murray get cut?
The veteran was fired by the Saints, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, on Tuesday after he refused to accept a pay cut when the team requested it.
After stints with the Minnesota Vikings and the Oakland Raiders, Murray played the last two seasons in New Orleans.
