Shaq over Murphy, Right?

[Dkollidas]

Especially after this season, the way both have played, I assume they’ll try to re-sign Shaq, as long as he wants to be here, and cut ties with Murphy.

 

Shaq will basically take Murphy’s salary position on the team. 

 

Draft a DE in the 1st or 2nd round, and sign a lower priced UFA (Vic Beasley?).

 

Hughes/Draft-Pick

Lawson/UFA

 

seems like a much better way to have the defensive ends going forward.

I’d like to have Johnson back up Shaq and maybe bring in somebody via draft to groom behind Hughes.

Murphy is one of worst signing in Beane era next to Star who combined rake in about 20million,  gas them both and use money on Shaq and another free agent.  Those two get destroyed on running plays

Shaq all day! 

[GunnerBill]

Shaq all day. I don't even have it as close.

Get Murphy out of there is the cry from my Bills club room. You want to gain 10 yards. Run to Murphy's side. This man could not set an edge if his life depended on it.

Who is this Murphy guy??? Oh the worst signing by Beane.  Give me Shaq all day

But he was rude after the Broncos game

[r00tabaga]

Murph is toast.

I will listen to any substitutions including re-signing Shaq.

Anybody know Murphy's contact without me having to look it up? Does it go past this year?

..absolutely......and declining the 5th was the right choice.....but McBeane can still negotiate a FA deal with him, including a reasonably significant bump if he's interested...

[Royale with Cheese]

The Dolphins game so far this year is the o my game Shaq has more snaps.

[atlbillsfan1975]

How much do they save cutting Murphy?

Lawson is having a good year. Is this good year due to steady progression or is it motivated by a contract? Either way I think Lawson is a very good rotational player. What’s that cost? $7m or $12m? 
I do like drafting a DE early. I think DE/CB will be the Bills first two picks depending on value.

 Shaq has been playing like a man with a contract negotiation coming

I think Shaq is a RDE.  I’ve only seen him make 1 play on the left side this season.  Everything else comes from the right or DT. I like him, but I don’t think he’s a fit for us unless we plan on keeping him as a RDE.

Over the cap has the savings at 7.2  million with 1.75 mill in dead money if we cut him in 2020, not sure about the post June 1st cut that option never seems to work on that site.

[suorangefan4]

Neither are that good.

 

People seriously are going overboard after Shaq got 2 sacks on Sunday. 2 sacks where the offensive line didn't even put a single blocker on him and let him come in untouched. Murphy or anyone else would've gotten those sacks too.

[Augie]

If it’s one or the other, Shaq all day long. He actually makes plays. I hope his progress continues and he's not just a contract year one-year-wonder. This is where you have to know the man, not just the player.

You know I probably should just let them slide but are we really complaining about the 3rd ranked defense?  3rd in ppg, 3rd in ypg, 3rd in passing yards per game, and gasp 14th in rushing yards per game.  They are top 5 in 3 categories and top half of the league in the other category.

 

With 90 million in cap space there is no need to move on from Star or Trent.  There is money to spend on Shaq and Jordan Phillips and others who need to be re-signed.  There is still money to add players as well.  No reason to cut players and create holes in a very good defense.

shaq >>> murphy and must get more playing time.
