Bills sign Trent Murphy

[jrober38]

The money suggests either Lawson or Hughes are on their way out.

This sounds like a Bryce Paup type signing.

Would be awesome if it turned out that well!

 

Really excited about the improvement to the D-line in FA! 

[BuffaloBillyG]

Very nice! Fills a huge need and very talented player. 

[Roundybout]

I seriously wonder if Hughes becomes trade bait.

[aristocrat]

so does he still have to sit out 4 games for the roids? 

[mjt328]

The D-Line is really starting to shape up.

This gives us a nice 3-man rotation with Hughes, Lawson and Murphy. 

I would still like to see us draft another DT to eventually take Kyle's place.

 

Our Linebacker group still looks terribly ugly.

It's hard to believe that LB hasn't become a bigger priority over the last two offseasons, considering Sean McDermott's history as a Defensive Coordinator.

He was a beast at Stanford. Saw him play a lot. If he is healthy the Bills defense just got a lot better.

[boyst]

I like him a lot.  Remember him coming out. Not sure he is all that high motor like Hughes but he is solid.   Hoping he can be like Lorax

[shiner13]

i swear i just got an alert on my phone that said 3 years 30 mil. cant find it again now

[NewEra]

WTH?

Wow. 

AWESOME signing! 

Coming off ACL surgery, but he managed 9 sacks the year prior.

Only entering his 4th year in the league. The arrow is pointing up BIG TIME with him!

I didn't expect it to happen, but with the signings of Lotulelei, Williams, and Murphy, the defensive line has improved drastically. 

What makes this signing even better is that edge rusher is very shallow in this year's draft. OL, LBs, WR now up on the docket!

 

 

 

I'm curious about the money, especially with him coming off an injury. Supposing that it's reasonable, I think it bolsters a weaker position.

 

I'd prefer that we will in the positions you mentioned as well. Assuming we use both of our 1sts to get our QB., at least one of each in the 2nd and 3rd rounds, that doesn't leave a lot of gaping holes. I would use the 4th and 5th rounders to go DT and RB.

Because as Bills fans, we dont allow ourselves to have more than 1 nice thing. Even if we need 2 on the field at a time.

 

Murphy is 1 nice thing, who is the other you are talking about?  It cant be mr. invisible until I get a stupid penalty JH55 can it?

That's a good signing (Pats were after him hard) and suggests to me that Shaq is out.

 

Good call.  Could be on his way out as part of deal to get to #5.

Not sure they see him as that, given it looks like his contract is 3 years $21 million.

Way to much money for Murphy.Between him and Kyle..that's 13 million.Not good.

Both. Key word in 2nd tweet: "UP TO". Meaning extra incentive bonuses.

[The Poojer]

we know his estimated already....3 yrs up to 30M, why not Star???  It's a sign!  We are trading him for EJ Manuel
