Trentwannabe Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 Surprised by the length of the deal. Guy had 9 sacks in 2016 but missed all of last season with a torn ACL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soflbillsfan Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 geez 3 years 21 mil? the guy is coming off a major injury and has done nothing with his career. Best year he had was in 2016 with 9 sacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WizeGuy Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Extremely high upside here. He could be a dominant force in this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean we turned Jerry Hughes into a guy worth a $50M contract so Murphy could recover from this well and be a great asset for us. $7M AAV with probably half that in guarantees for a good rotational DL is certainly nothing to sweat over.

Maybe Shaq Lawson is now the key piece to getting to pick 2 and thats why they went with this guy. Giants did just land their LT so they may be willing to take pass rusher instead of drafting chubb get Lawson along with pick 12 and 2019 1st rd pick.

LeeEvans Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Lots of my friends who are Skins fans are pretty high on him. That's a pretty big contract but honestly who even knows what market value is anymore. Im most intrigued about guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelonebillsfan Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Probably does it for us in FA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trentwannabe Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 Quote Vic CarucciVerified account @viccarucci 1m1 minute ago More I've been told the #Bills' signing of FA DE Trent Murphy does not impact the status of Jerry Hughes whatsoever. One thing I read on twitter was that Lawson may move inside on passing downs to replace Star. Hughes-Lawson-Williams/Washington-Murphy should be able to get pressure.

Kmart128 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I would trade Jerry Hughes now. Makes us pretty flexible with the guys we have in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeEvans Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Something that should be mentioned is that Trent started off as a LB and has only like two years of experience at end and was quite good when he moved there. I'd say he has some potential to improve at that position. Great guy against the run too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think next season will be the year we move on from him. We'd have the cap room to make a splash signing or can draft one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelonebillsfan Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 We have basically unlimited cap room as all these bad bad contracts begin coming off the books next year so I am all for kicking the tires on major improvement to next season. The expectation should still be playoffs, but we only barely made it last year because the AFC was a damn dumpster fire of terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
