What do you expect from Trent Murphy in 2019?

I was dissapointed that he didn't play better or hit doubl digit sacks, but historically, many guys ned more than 1 year to recover both physically and psychologically from such a serious injury. Besides, he wasn't that bad -- just average, really. He's still relatively young too.

I expect him to play 40% of the defensive snaps when he's healthy enough to do so. I'd say the over under on games missed this year due to injury is 5.

Other than that I dont expect much. He's had 4 seasons in the league, with his high point being 9 sacks with Washington, other than that he's had 2.5, 3.5 & 4 with the Bills last season. So like i said, i don't expect much outta him for the Bills. For Trent i expect he'll cash in another 8.5 mil & live a pretty comfortable life that the most of us can only dream about haha.

Sad but true. Can't expect him to do an Aaron Schobel type comeback like in 09. I agree we'll be lucky to get 40% snaps out of him in some rotation with Shaq and Lorax.

I just hope he stays healthy. Seems hampered by injury all year. Will they keep both him and Shaq (assuming Hughes stays too) plus draft a pass rusher high? 

 

 

...McBeane seems to gamble on signings coming off injury (but he was cash strapped in 2018), but the PED suspension was the surprise......

I don’t worry about him too much. Health is the big concern obviously. He looked pretty good in the limited action he had. I still have high hopes for lawson, thought he played amazing this year. If he gets some pass rush skills Lawson is the guy we should be hoping to see numbers from. Murphy is the pass rush “specialist” with limited snaps

Man, everyone loved the Murphy signing before the season. Now everyone acts like they hated theove and Beane should be fired for it.

 

I think he can be an effective pass rusher when healthy. Let's hope he can get healthy and prove everyone right (sentiment from when we first signed him) and everyone wrong (current sentiment).

I liked it. I was expecting some pressure out of him. Our sack #'s were pretty bad with him being hurt and Hughes being held so much. If he can stay healthy, our sack #'s should be better. Imagine this defense with more pressure!

I expect Trent to be playing for another team next season.

 

This.  The Bills structured Murphy's contract with an out for this offseason.  Cutting him before the 5th day of the league year will leave the Bills with a $3.5M cap hit, freeing up $5M to be put toward someone who can make more of a contribution.
