He got hurt in camp with the cards and was cut at the end of August.

Yes, along with every other available player not currently on an NFL team.

You do understand that oline is a glaring weakness too, right?

Position flexibility dude!

Has 20 starts under his belt. Graded out best in 2019 when he played 844 snaps and only allowed 4 sacks and 3 penalties. Had a solid start to the 2020 season not allowing a sack on 602 snaps and only 1 penalty. But got hurt to end the 2020 season and got hurt again in 2021. PFF (which is not the best metric) graded him as follows.

 

2019- 62.9

2020- 56.7

2021- 60.8

 

Considering that we are at week 4 getting a player that was somewhat effective with 20 starts under his belt is about as good as you will be able to do. The reason he is available despite decent play and experience is due to injuries. He got hurt to end the 2020 season and again early in 2021. Hopefully with a few extra weeks rest his body is ready to go.

Of course, the pickings in the free agent market are pretty slim, especially given the salary cap constraints Brandon Bean is feeling.   Murray has starting experience and he's not so old that he's likely to be slipping physically.  The biggest doubt about Justin Murray is that his injury in 2021 was a back injury.  Hopefully, it doesn't turn out to be a nagging issue for him.

I'm kind of old.  When I clicked Freddie's post, my thought was that song sounds so old, who could possibly know that reference.  You guys are really F'ing old!

 

We resemble that remark.

Being hurt makes Bills perfect for him.  They have great doctors.

He’s the Doyle replacement. Lets hope Morse and Bates are back this week but if not it will be Mancz and Van Roten (if HE’S available). Everyone banged up 

He’s a guard now but we have so many injured on the line. 

Bates seems unlikely, Hope I’m wrong.  The elbow with Morse is the right arm used to snap the ball…

Well, it seemed like Van Roten's snapping arm was injured too

Well that's what I get for not reading all the intervening posts.  Sorry.

Van Roten. . . tough name. Might as well be Sir Sucksatsnapping. 

If I'm Josh I don't wanna see VanRotensnap anywhere near that LOS.

315lbs from Cincinnati, so he also knows how to mess up a large 4-way from Skyline.

Actually heard he was more of a Gold Star 5-way guy.....gonna have to adapt his chili tastes here!

Gold Star 5-way? That's a whole lotta onions. On a more serious note, Cincinnati is the only place in the world where can order a kids 3-way in the drive thru and not go to prison.
