There are a few teams in rebuild mode that will see that if they cut him the cost next year is very little. So if you can dump a salary and get someone who isn't hurting cap situation long term its a perfect scenario. Used more in Bball then football but its same premise.

It would be better to move him True and I agree but like others said, who will want to take on that contract. We would probably have to throw in a pick to sweeten the deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 47 minutes ago, YoloinOhio said: Who would take Murphy’s contract? Would a late rounder be enough to move him? Murphy is in the last year of his contract. Buffalo is already liable for what remained of his prorated bonus figures. His cash salary is 6.4 million. His new team would be on the hook for about 3 million, and would have no liability past this year. That doesn't seem to be an intimidating amount if some team thinks he can help through the last half of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I can see them trying to move murphy to free up some cap space for a more significant trade deadline acquisition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estro Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Only way you can trade Murphy is if you sweeten the pot with a pick IMO. Trade Murphy and a 5th and get back a 7th, something like that. A team would be doing us a favor by taking the $4M off of our books. Not cutting him prior to the season was a huge mistake and cost us $7M in cap space next yr. that we can't get back. If Beane gets anything for Murphy without having to sweeten the pot, itd be a great job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do it in basketball all the time but for a team like Houston or Atlanta this is a perfect opp to get rid of a salary for next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 McKinley was the guy who went a bit nuts on stage at the draft, right? Murphy should have been gone in the offseason. His last 4 games last season were a mirage. He is who we thought he was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
without a drought Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Trent and a 5th for a future conditional 7th might get it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 4 minutes ago, TheBeaneBandit said: You guys do realize his contract really isn't very high for a DE. Edge players get PAID people. He is getting paid like a fringe starter or a high end rotation player and he is performing like a JAG. Never liked Murphy at all, but the Bills won't be able to trade him unless it's part of a salary fill for another deal. I think Buffalo is trying to make a trade to boost the D-line. If you look at the areas where the Bills could improve that's an easy one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct me if I'm wrong but we don't need someone to take his salary off our books if we find a replacement, we just cut him. We've already paid most if not all of his bonuses. We don't need to Brock Osweiller him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrooklynBills Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Looks like at the very least, he will be getting cut. Money wise, there is no difference between trading him and cutting him at this point and not being able to trade him would in no way prevent us from making a move somewhere else.

blacklabel Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Trent Murphy right now is more valuable to the Bills than a 2021 6th or 7th round draft pick that's unlikely to make the team. The only way I see them taking picks for him is if they then flip those picks in a trade for another player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is watt then they just cut Murphy to free cap. I mean, midday drinking is cool with me. I'd love those suggestions, just no way that happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
