I realize the situation with depth at that position on the roster, but at this point, it probably doesn't hurt the team to take a chance on a HUNGRIER player. From the sound of things, the last thing Murphy looks at the moment is hungry!
Murphy does not make a lot of money.
We lose cap space by cutting him.
He still has impressive physical size, speed, and strength.
He isn't going anywhere. It makes no sense to cut him. You coach him up and hope he blossoms. But don't give him snaps he does not earn. Maybe the prospect of cutting cut next year lights a fire.
If he does not improve this year, the cap hit is still negative next year, I think, but closer to neutral.
FWIW, Mutphy flaming out, Ossai leaving, and Trey's age all all reasons why I woukd keep 6 DEs this year if possible.
