One cut that many Buffalo Bills fans were waiting to see if would or would not come to fruition was that of veteran defensive end Trent Murphy. Murphy is in the final year of his 3-year deal with the team and his cap hit peaks in 2020 at double what he was paid in his first season in Buffalo. The option to save nearly $8 million on the salary cap was expected to potentially contribute to his release if the team decided to go that route.
Not so fast, says Bills GM Brandon Beane.
In his post cut-down day comments, Beane spoke specifically about Murphy and said that it was never a serious consideration inside the building for the Bills to move on from the veteran.
