I knew this was only a matter of days. Had a flash or two but severe mental breakdown when he got a real shot. Not even sure how he stuck around this long. Wasted late round pick so meh...it was likely not going to work out from the start but wish him the best. Maybe he returns due to injuries for us or someone later on.

Kamara and Ginn have made both Murphy and Cadet expendable.

I don't know about Cadet but Murphy couldn't hang on to the football. He was a turnover waiting to happen.

One of the easiest ways to get cut at this level. Murphy has talent & good vision but coaches will lose trust quickly when you put the ball on the ground.

I hope he catches on somewhere soon. Fumbling is correctable.

Sorry K, know you were pulling for the guy...

Shame he couldn't play with Sproles; really learn a terrific work ethic and what it takes in commitment to succeed; he's got rare gifts, but he doesn't seem to have the other parts in order...

Cadet is clearly better than Murphy, but having both Kamara and Ginn is just too much overlap and one would expect Cadet to be the odd man out.

Roster shuffles, he might even be back soon

He is actually a decent player. I could see him latching on somewhere but he burnt the bridge here with a real brain freeze moment in time.
