Must be why both Brown and Beasley had career years in 2019.

I know that when I look at Buffalo’s roster I think to myself: the one thing they’re missing is a 5’7” RB with 4.6 speed that can’t pass protect, but he’s shifty and can slash for yards effectively. Wait...

Picked over is a bit much...there’s 9 starting OTs on the market right now, just as an example.

Wanted him as a FA last year

Extension? He’s under contract through 2023. The only change would be a restructuring to convert base salary into guaranteed money.

You've had some incomprehensibly bad takes, but this one is next level inane Is this based on anything, or gut feeling?

Yes, he’d likely be a better guard than a tackle... but... He’s proven himself capable of playing LT long-term, so there he shall stay.

So, for a 3rd time now: who was the better QB in 2019?

Yes. Ready? Go.

Explain what Ben did better in his limited play in 2019

He 100% was not last year... and this is coming from a guy that has been a Ben truther since he dismantled Akron on a Saturday night in 2001.

Like I said: that 411 site is just conjecture

It’s definitely a health concern. Teams aren’t willing to take the elite money risk without a physical.

Sorry, but this viewpoint reeks of not having watched him. Just go back and watch either the SF or Cincinnati games from 2019; dude is a wrecking ball.

Neal has played almost no safety for Buffalo. He played slot corner in big nickel packages almost exclusively last year.

Yes I’m sure, and I agree. But I stumped for offer sheeting Breida for months, so now I have to follow through ?

He got a 2nd round tender; we could still poach him...

Can I have Breida instead? ?

You don’t seem to be making a consistent argument here. You've gone from “you can’t keep Murphy” to “he’s not a starter” to “you can’t have him if you want to be a championship team” to “he’s a DE3” to “he shouldn’t even be in a rotation” to “of course he’s an NFL player” to, well, I’m not sure where we are now. Point all along has been this: he’s under contract, he’s contributed to a very good defense, you’re unlikely to have 4 DEs better than him, you don’t need the cap space, so there’s really no point to cutting him.

No, the opinion that a guy that was obviously a major contributor to a defense that finished #2 overall should only see the field in an emergency situation makes absolutely no sense.

So a guy that played over 600 snaps and had 5 sacks on the #2 defensive unit in the league has no business in the rotation? I’m not trying to give you a hard time, but that opinion makes absolutely no sense.

Do the people who tweet this stuff ever look at the cap ramifications of such a move?

Well, you said that you can’t have Murphy on the team and be a SB contender, so you can imagine why that’s the impression someone gets. Also, on how many teams does the DE3 (or DE4) actually see 25% of the snaps or less?

So Murphy isn’t even an NFL player at this point? Or he’s so bad that he can’t even be a DE3 or DE4 on a good team? This is waaaaay out there for you.
