Bengals will not pick up Myles Murphy's fifth-year option
The Cincinnati Bengals have decided not to pick up the fifth-year option on defensive end Myles Murphy's contract, making him eligible for free agency in 2027 unless a new deal is reached. The move means Murphy will not receive a guaranteed $14.475 million for the 2027 season. Despite the decision, the team has expressed interest in negotiating a long-term contract with the 2023 first-round pick.
