GunnerBill Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 7 hours ago, Doc said: Murphy tore his ACL in August of 2017. I assume they signed him thinking he'd be healthy by the start of training camp or at least before the end of pre-season. Again like I said, if he's not healthy by 3/17, he's gone. I have no issue with the gamble they took on Murphy. It made sense, it was low risk and it didn't work out. I will have an issue if they go into 2019 relying on him in any way. Cutting him saves us $5m on the cap in 2019. That is money for a player who can contribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they can secure an upgrade first, I'd approach him about a pay cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't because I don't think he is ever likely to be able to play at the level we saw in Washington again. I'd cut him now to be honest. I just think the money is better used elsewhere.

Cripple Creek Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I'm not sure that taking a shot on him is the best idea of you're interesting in signing him. Some people aren't into that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bing Bong Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 dang.. Quinn, Jesse James, Crabtree, Paradis. Git em. Having this cap ain't so bad. Give em short term higher money deals or good flexibility like we got in Starr. Instant upgrades all around. Solid character guys for McDermott AFAIK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without googling I'm going to say 15th overall to Seattle. Will edit if wrong. I was wrong, mark the day and time. 14th to the Rams in 2011. I was thinking of Bruce Irvin, 15th to Seattle a year later. Edited February 27, 2019 by Steve O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
