July 6th article out of bay area speculating Murphy being on trade block http://www.csnbayare...298&feedID=2801

From Raiders top beat writer today http://www.csnbayare...791&feedID=2539

I posted these PFF stats in the other murphy thread, figured i'd put them here for more exposure.

Heres his Profootball focus stats.

09 season, played 736 snaps(most of any receiver on team),92 Targets, 34 receptions,521 total yards, 136 yards after catch, 4 td's, 7 drops, caused 4 missed tackles and 0 fumbles.

10 played 737 snaps(2nd by about 40 snaps to Darius Heyward Bay),74 targets, 41 receptions, 609 total yards, 227 yards after catch,2 tds, 3 drops,caused 4 missed tackles and had 2 fumbles.

11 played 258 snaps (4th most at receiver) 34 targets, 15 receptions,241 total yards,87 yards after catch,0 td's, 2 drops, caused 2 missed tackles and 0 fumbles.

He was the number 1 receiver his rookie year as he was targeted twice as much as anyone else and was most productive as he led all receivers in yards and td's.

His sophmore year was more of the same, depsite getting slightly less snaps than Heyward Bay..still got more targets,receptions and yards than any other wideout on the team and unbelievably his 2 td's tied for first.

and looks like he missed the first 5 weeks of last year.

*all this being said the #1 pass catcher on the team in 09 and 10 was Zach Miller the tight end. Murphy was just the best wideout on the Raiders for those 2 years.

**Jamarcus and Gradkowski were the qb's in 09 and then Jason Campbell and Gradkowski in 2010 for the raiders.

Videos and other info is encouraged in this thread. Add what you have for all to see without having to read 100 pages.

Here's his rushing TD. His stumble isn't pretty, but he got the job done. I think I'm most excited for him as a run blocker than anything else.

Edit: Just did some reading on Murphy and apparently his recent injuries have been a sports hernia he had to have surgery on that kept him out of TC and the first 5 games of 2011, a pulled groin that made him miss a couple games later in the season, and then a hamstring that kept him out of OTAs.

Sounds like a series of freak accidents to me. I'd much rather have that than a Jeff Otah type chronic condition.

Cam is going to bring out the best in this man. Not calling Superbowl or 1000 yards but if he can stay healthy, and I believe he can, he will be at least better than Nannee.

Hope so. I believe Sir Purr was covering Nanee in practice and shutting him down.

In my expert "you tube film critique"

I say this dude can ball... Runs good routes, attacks the ball in the air, blocks very very well, and has a knack for running the end around.

This was a highlight video, and I get that... But he looks pretty darned Legit.

Looks like he might have some trouble making the first guy miss, but he's a solid route runner with above average speed for his frame and can make some decent catches. Not sure what else he'll bring but it's a good start.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
