Is Shemar holding out?

I think Ossai and Murphy are both in for big years because they seemed to be coming into their own last season and were poised for big years regardless, and I think Golden's aggressive style with various looks and stunts will unleash them into big years.

That's why I think Hendrickson is really hurting himself with this holdout because, if other players have bigger years and see the field more, then he'll have less leverage after this season. 

I hope Stewart gets in soon because, while we might not have had that language in contracts, it's standard now, so we're just adapting with the times. 

Stewart needs to stop listening to his agent and realize that we're in a new time.

If Murphy was coming into his own last season, that's not good.
He finished with 0 sacks and 1 TFL on 353 defensive snaps last season, which was 48 more snaps than he had his rookie season.
This really is his prove-it year. And the only reason I mentioned he will get snaps is because he needs to get snaps for team to decide on whether to pick up his 5th year option or not. His performance in new scheme could be very impactful to that decision. With that said, he hasn't performed well up to this point to really deserve much playing time otherwise.
