Trent Murphy probably not going anywhere

[Doc]

As of yesterday, $2.5M of Murphy's $5.8M 2019 salary was guaranteed, along with a $500K roster bonus.  I think it's safe to say he's probably not getting cut and that he's 100% healthy.  Let's hope.

Need the depth, have the money, no reason to cut him. Next season might be a different story. 

[Rubes]

He's a good player when healthy. Which needs to be more often than it has been.

 

[John from Riverside]

Fingers crossed that he stays healthy

[Magox]

If he stays healthy is a quality rotational guy to have.

[WMDman]

Welp I hope he is healthy

I doubt they would have kept him if he weren't.

I was happy we got him.  He flashed a little last year but wasn't himself.  Hopefully he returns to the form he showed previously since we have a year, now 2 invested in him.

I still say he won't be on the opening day 53. I don't expect him to get out of camp. I think they should have cut him, he won't stay healthy.

Just get him some better, undetectable PED’s and he will be fine

Trent was pretty good when he played last year.

 

I’m happy he’s around.

He has a high motor.  Real gym rat and student of the game.

It's only like a 2 mil cap savings and 6+ of dead cap to cut him now.

If they were going to cut him they probably would have already.

Is he? Honest question?  I know you can never have enough pass rushers but he really isn’t that good at that.  https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/M/MurpTr00.htm

 

also, not staying healthy is a real thing.

I remember him making some plays - seems like a solid athlete.

I think they will cover themselves on this....but on this one i really hope you are wrong.

Murphy looks just mediocre and is obviously rarely 100% healthy.  Not really a dominant pass rusher and a liability in defending the run.  Hope he's just depth for the short term.

I feel like a full season in the new training facility is going to make a world of difference for A LOT of players, especially Murphy. 

 

Liked what i saw from him last year. The whole line seemed to play faster and with intensity when he was on the field. Not sure how to quantify that with stats, but it was definitely something i saw consistently. 

[noacls]

2nd best DE they have. Why would they cut him? If he cant stay healthy then next year is different story.

[RyanC883]

good depth player.  I believe we upgrade the Edge position in the draft.
