Would the vet only be signed for 1 year?
Because if you sign a vet for multiple years plus want to see if Murphy is worth a damn AND invest a 1st or 2nd round pick, that's a lot of capital for limited snaps for some/all of them.
That's why I did not propose someone like Ossai plus a high draft pick, as I would have to imagine Ossai would want to go to a place that gives him best chance to start or play 500+ snaps.
And if Ossai were to play 500+ snaps for the Bengals, that'd basically relegate Murphy and a high draft pick to sub-400 snaps for the next 1-2 years.
Nice thread btw! I guess it all boils down to how much trust they have in Murphy. Maybe they will finally get the training wheels off of him. If he produces then everything is tits! If he doesn't we could still sign a vet edge guy, but it would most likely be a 2nd-3rd tier type of guy that late in the game.
