(Minneapolis) - The Demarco Murray era in Brown Town is over.

After another oft-injured season, the Dallas running back has been jettisoned by Brown Town owner Aaron Katarya as he tries to clear up keeper space for the upcoming season.

"Demarco's been a valuable part of our organization for almost two years," said Katarya, presumably, "but at the end of the day, we just wanted him to GTFO.  I'd say thanks to Demarco, but seriously, GTFO."

Murray is being sent to Swan City for nothing in return.  Brown Town will have to give Swan City $4 for the draft if Murray is seriously injured before teams are picked.  Specifically, if Murray is deemed out for more than five weeks, that will trigger the $4 clause in the deal.

The former Sooner burst onto the scene in 2011 after taking over for Felix Jones midway through the season, but after breaking his leg before season end, his stock started to fall.  He missed six games last season with various injuries and ended with only four touchdowns on the year.  Murray claims to be healthy and ready to go, but he missed some time during OTAs with a hamstring strain, only adding to his injury worries.  He's expected to be healthy when training camp starts.

Possible injury concerns didn't deter Swan City owner John Engelbrekt from taking on Murray and the remaining two years on his contract.

"I don't know what I'm doing," said Engelbrekt, without a hint of humor, "I mean, he's a good player, but who knows what he's going to give me.  All I know is that I wanted a second keeper, and now I have one."

Murray will join Doug Martin on Swan City for the upcoming season.

Brown Town is expected to use the newly opened keeper spot on two of CJ Spiller, Matt Ryan or Randall Cobb.
