GreggTX Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 I was dissapointed that he didn't play better or hit doubl digit sacks, but historically, many guys ned more than 1 year to recover both physically and psychologically from such a serious injury. Besides, he wasn't that bad -- just average, really. He's still relatively young too.
YoloinOhio Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 I just hope he stays healthy. Seems hampered by injury all year. Will they keep both him and Shaq (assuming Hughes stays too) plus draft a pass rusher high?
brianthomas Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 I expect him to play 40% of the defensive snaps when he's healthy enough to do so. I'd say the over under on games missed this year due to injury is 5. Other than that I dont expect much. He's had 4 seasons in the league, with his high point being 9 sacks with Washington, other than that he's had 2.5, 3.5 & 4 with the Bills last season. So like i said, i don't expect much outta him for the Bills. For Trent i expect he'll cash in another 8.5 mil & live a pretty comfortable life that the most of us can only dream about haha. 2
John from Riverside Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 Its really going to depend on whether he can stay healthy or not. 1

Sad but true. Can't expect him to do an Aaron Schobel type comeback like in 09. I agree we'll be lucky to get 40% snaps out of him in some rotation with Shaq and Lorax.
CommonCents Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 Hughes is one of the most explosive guys off the snap Lawson/Murphy had to have been two of the slowest. Get healthy and play better or get cut and make room for someone else! 1
C.Biscuit97 Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 To miss at least 4 games. I’m pretty good with all their defensive moves but this is one of my least favorite.
Augie Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 I wish I expected more than injury. Please prove me wrong!!!
TheBeaneBandit Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 I think if he makes it through training camp and pre season relatively injury free we could actually see a pretty solid year from him. If we start seeing something nagging him constantly......he could be cut or even a trade attempt of some kind. 1

Rc2catch Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 I don’t worry about him too much. Health is the big concern obviously. He looked pretty good in the limited action he had. I still have high hopes for lawson, thought he played amazing this year. If he gets some pass rush skills Lawson is the guy we should be hoping to see numbers from. Murphy is the pass rush “specialist” with limited snaps 1
MJS Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 Man, everyone loved the Murphy signing before the season. Now everyone acts like they hated theove and Beane should be fired for it. I think he can be an effective pass rusher when healthy. Let's hope he can get healthy and prove everyone right (sentiment from when we first signed him) and everyone wrong (current sentiment).
Bad Things Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 I expect Trent to be playing for another team next season.

Our sack #'s were pretty bad with him being hurt and Hughes being held so much. If he can stay healthy, our sack #'s should be better. Imagine this defense with more pressure!
Buffalo86 Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 5 minutes ago, Bad Things said: I expect Trent to be playing for another team next season. This. The Bills structured Murphy's contract with an out for this offseason. Cutting him before the 5th day of the league year will leave the Bills with a $3.5M cap hit, freeing up $5M to be put toward someone who can make more of a contribution.
BillsSB2020 Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 He was pretty effective when healthy. I'm just concerned about his availability. He's a solid pass rusher when he's able to suit up.
wppete Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 Was not impressed at all with him last year. Injury or not he was still out there. 1
Happy Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 I expect Trent Murphy to be cut. Injury concern, and he's nothing special when he is on the field. Actually, a run defense liability as he doesn't maintain his lane. 3
