The Buffalo Bills added pass rusher Trent Murphy during their first volley of free agency earlier this week. Murphy was drafted by Washington in the middle of the second round in 2014. Originally selected to play outside linebacker in Washington’s 3-4 defense, he spent two years in that role. In 2016 he was asked to put on approximately 30 pounds and try his hand(s) at defensive end (again in the 3-4). An injury to Junior Galette led to him being asked to drop that weight again and come back to the linebacker corps.
In 2017, Murphy was suspended four games for a PED violation.
