Trent could be gone
Where the pressure does reside is with Trent Murphy. His defensive end spot could be gone. After signing a three-year deal with the Bills worth a hearty $22.5 million, Murphy hasn’t produced. Buffalo was hoping to get the nine-sack season he had in 2016. Instead he only has nine sacks over the course of his Bills career.
Murphy is set to have a $9.75 million cap hit next season. His dead cap hit would only be $1.75M. That’s a big savings for the Bills that they’ll certainly be considering. It would not be surprising to see Murphy in training camp with the Bills and it won’t be shocking if he’s cut by the team at the end of it. Along with Epenesa, Hughes and Addion, the Bills have Quinton Jefferson and Daryl Johnson to consider. The Bills likely wouldn’t be able to trade him.
