About this episode
The Bengals have to make a decision about Myles Murphy's 5th year option this offseason after he started to show signs of development late in 2025. They've got a pressing need to improve their pass rush and a history of picking up 5th year options, so it wouldn't be surprising if Bengals to keep Murphy for an extra year and bank on continued progress. Jake Liscow and James Rapien break down how much Murphy's 5th year option will cost and how it fits into the broader NFL pass rusher landscape, and why the Bengals need to do more than just relying on Murphy and Shemar Stewart.Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
