This was enough for me: 'Why OL Ed Ingram is a strong candidate to be released'.

Yes, apparently because he started so many games his first three seasons, he's earned several incentives that make his salary too high for a backup, which is a shame because we could use the depth. He also said based on cap realities Trey Smith "will not" be resigned by the Chiefs, that Harry "will" retire, and that Murphy's contract could rival that of AJ Terrell's (wow, I hope not).

Murphy is not a great CB...Had a good year though. They may have to choose between him and Bynum vs both.

But his agent has a very good argument. No corner had more interceptions than Murphy. He was elected to the Pro Bowl where he won the defensive MVP award. And his PFF coverage grade in 2024 was actually higher than Terrell's. I've been thinking since mid-season that he could be a very tough signing for the Vikings due to all of the above arguing top of market, while everything else suggests he's merely above average. You have to wonder how good he'd be outside of a Flores defense.

He's right...To have this # of FA's/RFA's in one year and on a 14/3 team is pretty crazy
$60mm in cap space is nice, I say no way they allocate 40 of that 60 to Sam. Not w/out a trade in place. |
