Summary
Did the Cincinnati Bengals make the right decision in declining Myles Murphy's 5th year option? Jake Liscow and James Rapien break down what the Bengals were thinking as they turned down the $14.46M 5th year of team control for Murphy. Do the Bengals see him as a starting-level edge rusher with investments in Shemar Stewart, Boye Mafe, and Cashius Howell at the position? Would they approach him with an extension this offseason, and if they did, would he be interested? Plus, why the Bengals' 2027 cap situation seems like a real factor in their decision.
