2026 Projections
Signed a four-year, $12.59 million contract with the Bengals in May of 2023.
Won't have option year picked up
The Bengals are declining Murphy's fifth-year option for 2027, Kelsey Conway of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Murphy set career-best marks across the board in 2025 with 52 tackles (28 solo), including 5.5 sacks, but that wasn't enough to convince Bengals brass to pick up the 2023 first-round pick's fifth-year option. He remains under contract in 2026 on the fourth year of his rookie deal, and Conway adds that the Bengals are still hoping to work out a long-term extension to keep Murphy in Cincinnati despite choosing not to pick up his fifth-year option.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Possible extension candidate
Murphy might get a contract extension from the Bengals this offseason, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Cincinnati's in a tough salary cap situation with five players currently carrying cap hits of $20 million or more and four key young players heading into the final year of their rookie contracts, including running back Chase Brown and cornerbacks DJ Turner and Dax Hill. Murphy, a first-round pick in 2023, might be the lowest priority player on that list, however, after having the fifth-year option on his contract declined in April. Over 17 regular-season games in 2025, he managed career highs with 52 tackles and 5.5 sacks.
