Very fair analysis, and it's tough to deny this.
Murphy did play better late in the season, and he stood out in the playoff game.
Yes, the 8 million on his contract stands out, especially if we could entice Clowney to join the team. In which case Murphy would be out of here.
However, if the Bills feel that Murphy can continue to play the way he did at the end of last season, then I trust their judgment.
