This will be Trey's 4th contract. As for Bengals plans, I don't know other than they had 2 starting DE's late in their careers, Hibbard and Trey so in their opinion they may have felt Murphy (highly ranked by experts) was both a need and BPA.
In retrospect, he has not performed so a bad choice. FA and the draft is filled with teams doing a clean up on aisle 3, every team misses picks.
Yeah... They gave Trey a one year (this year) extension two years ago. Not quite the same as signing a multi-year 3rd contract when the second is up, but I'll grant you that he's put pen to paper twice with Cincinnati.
As far as Murphy being BPA... LaPorta and Achane and we're both still available off the top of my head. As far as Murphy being a need... That's what free agency is for. The draft should be about acquiring talent.
