2019 Buffalo Bills salary cap: The cost of cutting Trent Murphy

Trent Murphy signed a three-year deal with the Buffalo Bills after the 2017 season. Murphy was coming off a season-ending ACL injury and the Washington Redskins let him walk in free agency.

Murphy didn't have a great year as far as production goes. He had four sacks in 13 games, but his lack of stats are a bigger problem than they are with Jerry Hughes. Hughes generates a flurry of pressure on quarterbacks and is near the top of the league for applying those pressures. Murphy doesn't create nearly the amount of pressure that Hughes does.
