Wow. Didn't he play for the Raiders? I wonder what we gave up?

I hope its not much...this is shocking to be honest. I guess Gettis wasn't coming along well?

We're going to run out of eligble WR numbers.

FUUUUUG YES!!!! THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE!

We have such a sick receiving corps now, Murphy is a BEAST!

Hold up - WUT?? Hopefully details will be out soon.

Isn't he a deep-threat verticle WR?

Someone want to give me some background on this guy?

I know he played at Florida and was selected in the 4th round but that's about it. We now have 15 WRs going into camp, correct?

He's tall, blazing fast and has inconsistent hands. That's about all you need to know. He was buried on Oakland's depth chart with all the WR's they have....

Armanti, tutu, green, whoever is gone...is the 6'5 reciever we signed out of ucla playing tight end?

Murphy is the guy blocking (twice) and basically turns this into a touchdown. Big, fast guy with long arms who hasn't really done much in Oak. Was hurt a lot last year.

Probably will get about as many Camballs as Keoluhuna Pilares did last yr.

Fast is one good aspect. But unless the guy got good hands to catch the ball. can run his routes very good, and get good spacing between him and the CB to catch the ball. Then he is just another WR on the roster. Just with speed.

He blew up his first two seasons and that got buried in the depth chart behind the emerging receivers in Oakland.

He had 6 TD's in his first season and 0 last season. Definitely a vertical speedster with GREAT blocking ability.

ughhh....

hopefully all we gave up is some other shitty player

Reading from some Raiders fans that he had fallen out of favor with the new regime at was never the same mentally and physically after some hit/injury.

Bingo!! There is the reason why he got bump down in the depth chart. He can't catch very good. Blazing speed means nothing unless he catch. Just another WR taking up rost space until cut time. Even tho we traded for him. Hope he works out tho. But as of right now it sounds like he is just another guy on the roster. Only way I see him playing on the team this year is playing on STs

ughhh....

LOL csx and his sidekick cra coming to share the negative aspect of the trade like they do with every situation.

Wonder who we traded?

I must be thinking about another Louis Murphy.

hmm the fact that carolina felt compelled to trade for a WR might mean that they are not confident in what they have or that gettis recovery isnt going well.
