Billzgobowlin Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 So with seeing these cuts and how the front office is going to make decisions, they really screwed up on Murphy's contract. He is owed too much dead money on the last year of his contract. He's not tradeable this year with all these cheap alternatives and we can't cut him. He doesn't play enough to warrant his contract. Will they just make him a healthy scratch all year? 1 5 1 5 3
thenorthremembers Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 His contract expired he is a free agent. 1

Serious question tho: If he doesn’t get any decent offers as a FA, what about bringing him back as depth on a cheap 1 year deal with incentives? That might make a lot of sense to both parties IMO. 1
HOUSE Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 He will go to Miami and sack Josh Allen 5 times per year 3

Numark3 Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 Man the bills really screwed up adding the last year for the Ghost of Trent Murphy 1

If we had cut him last year, the cap savings he would have provided would have been rolled over to this years Cap space which would have allowed us to be more flexible this year.

Billzgobowlin Posted March 11, 2021 Author Posted March 11, 2021 My bad guys. I'm guessing I missed that.

I think there will be others that are available that fit better. Younger, faster, stronger... 2 1

Except - if we cut him with the injuries and games he played - would they have signed someone else? AJ was not ready early in the season - so we needed additional DE depth. So maybe we get a small savings, but even if we bring up a guy from the PS we are talking minimal savings. Rather have the guys that got me to the AFC Championship game rather than save a couple of million and have missed the guy that helped in multiple games due to his experience. 1
Royale with Cheese Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 Murphy has as much a chance of signing the Bills as I do.

ndirish1978 Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 well we certainly can't trade or cut him, so the OP had that much right 1
C.Biscuit97 Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 Trent Murphy’s biggest contribution as a Bill is providing venison. 1
T master Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 Given what he did against Jackson in the wild card game they should bring him back as a veteran depth player if he would come back with a good contract number i think he would be a good get for at least 1 more season .
kirkwoodus13 Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 He going to New England and will ball out. Remember the pats wanted him before the Bills showed him the money
