Report: Murphy traded to Panthers
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Monday, July 23rd, 2012 at 10:49 am in Oakland Raiders.
Wide receiver Louis Murphy, the team’s most productive wide receiver in 2009 and 2010, has been traded to the Carolina Panthers, according to the Twitter account of Yahoo Sports! reporter Jason Cole.
There have been no terms announced as yet, nor have the Raiders or Panthers confirmed the deal.
Murphy, who was the keynote speaker on behalf of the Raiders Saturday at a youth sports clinic at Kezar Stadium in San Francisco, struggled last season after undergoing sports hernia surgery late in training camp.
With the ascension of Denarius Moore in 2011, the quantum leap in performance by Darrius Heyward-Bey, along with strong showings by fifth-round draft pick Juron Criner and undrafted free agent Rod Streater this offseason, Murphy’s grip on a roster spot was tenuous.
Murphy caught 75 passes for 1,130 yards in his first two season after being a fourth-round draft pick out of Florida, the most of any of the Raiders wide receivers.
The Raiders made one previous deal with Carolina this offseason, getting running back Mike Goodson in exchange for offensive lineman Bruce Campbell.

Who does big Reg know in the Carolina front office?
2 trades with the same team in the same year is rare.
I liked murph, but there is no room for him on our roster.
He can get 50 catches easily in Carolina if he stays healthy.
He had a good attitude, best of luck to Louis Viagra.
BTW, The only thing that sucks about this trade is I used tell everone my old Randy Moss jersey was really a Louis Murphy jersey after I ripped Moss’s name off. lol

Jerry McDonald to the rescue
July 23rd, 2012 at 10:53 am
Hernias and viagra…how old was Murph anyway?
July 23rd, 2012 at 10:54 am
Panthers and Raiders like each other’s yard sales

Raiders were on the hook for $1.26 mil in salary for Murphy. If we get draft picks, that should clear more cap space.

lol @ DAV
the draft was 3 months ago and we didn’t have a 2nd rounder bro!
I dont think we have a 2nd rounder in 2013 either due to the Palmer trade.

Good Luck Murph! I still believe that Monday nighter that it WAS a TD! oh well…
July 23rd, 2012 at 11:00 am
Thank you Jerry! It was a good call. Murphy is part of a bygone era.
So be gone.
July 23rd, 2012 at 11:00 am
I wonder if Murphy’s still feeling that hit from a few years ago against San Diego.
Talk about Jamarcus not only altering his own career for the worst. Murphy had some solid promise, but man, after that hit, forget about it. Totally different guy. Oh well.

Our 2012 2nd round pick was used by Cincy on Kirkpatrick. They now have to send him to Carolina as part of the deal.

So this has to be the first time in years we have almost 6 million in cap space heading into Camp.

Who thinks we get a draft pick, and who thinks we get a player who can contribute now? Maybe RM sees someone on that roster, like Goodson, that we can use now.
July 23rd, 2012 at 11:03 am
At worst it’s a 7th round pick plus over a million off the cap. Worst case, that’s a great deal.
In the REGG I trust!
July 23rd, 2012 at 11:03 am
IM sorry, New England used it on Tavon Wilson.
July 23rd, 2012 at 11:03 am
Way to trade a player with some value, but unfortunately was hurt to often. was developing aligator arms as well.
What did we get in return, NFL sports headlines for the day?
July 23rd, 2012 at 11:04 am
Good luck Murphy, you were a good Raider who competed and contributed nicely. Cam should hook you up well, just stay healthy.
July 23rd, 2012 at 11:04 am
It’s for the best that Murphy got traded, he got “JLH’d” and never really got up again from that.

Very true man, and after looking at Carolina’s depth chart, I don’t see many names jump out in areas we need more depth.
July 23rd, 2012 at 11:10 am
Carolina’s defense sucks just as bad as ours. They just drafted a top ten rookie LB the same we drafted McCheeze once upon a time. So I don’t see us poaching them of any defensive talent.

I’m guessing a 5th.
So our projected WR starters are now Moore and Ford with DHB as the #3, Criner as the #4 and Streater at #5? I’m down with it.
July 23rd, 2012 at 11:15 am
DHB
Moore
Ford
Criner
Streater
Calhoun
McGee
Thats the pecking order as stands.

I say we carry a 6th WR. Whoever can best prove themselves on ST’s.
July 23rd, 2012 at 11:17 am
So for the second time this offseason, Reggie gets value in return for somebody who might not have even made the team. Good work!
July 23rd, 2012 at 11:17 am
He’ll yea dare I say top 5 wide. Corps in the leauge
July 23rd, 2012 at 11:17 am
It looks like the top 5 wideouts are accounted for. One more up for grabs. Not sure it’s given that Calhoun is ahead of McGee though.
July 23rd, 2012 at 11:18 am
Well the trade also tells us the Reg is close to signing Criner and Bergs at least.
July 23rd, 2012 at 11:18 am
anybody think it could be OT Matt Reynolds (BYU) who the Raiders had a pre-draft visit with and came away impressed?
went undrafted to the Panthers and is making peanuts. would still be cap savings and net us more competition on the O-Line

July 23rd, 2012 at 11:19 am
perhaps we’ll get another piece of junk return man … Captain Munnerlyn ??
July 23rd, 2012 at 11:20 am
Panthers acquired WR Louis Murphy from the Raiders.
The Raiders’ compensation is likely a late-round pick. The trade comes three weeks after the Contra Costa Times reported Murphy was in a “fight” for his roster spot, and greatly increases undrafted rookie Rod Streater’s chances of cracking Oakland’s 53-man roster. The move could be interpreted as a lack of faith from Carolina in Brandon LaFell and David Gettis, but the reality is Murphy is little more than a depth acquisition for one of the league’s thinner receiver corps. He’ll have an inside track on a roster spot, but will have to stay healthy, something that has proven challenging for him his first three years in the league.

Yeah, good deal for Murphy. Good luck, Bro.

Only a guess, but maybe Carolina initially called asking about Moore or Ford. Reggie probably responded with “No, but how about Murphy?”

I wouldn’t be suprised if it were for a 2014 7th rounder and some offensive tackle we never heard of.
July 23rd, 2012 at 11:45 am
Most likely a perforance based pick..
July 23rd, 2012 at 11:45 am
I had my doubts that Murph would make the roster this year anyway. I’ve said as much….Guess management felt the same way. Good luck to him….and I agree, that TD from Walrus Monday night opener was Highway ROBBERY.

Look at the WR corp as a UNIT and not by the indivudal parts.
How did DHB perform when JFORD, and DMO were on the field?
The corp when healthy will be very hard to defend.
Getting rid of JFORD makes about as much sense as signing BRL.
July 23rd, 2012 at 11:56 am
I wonder why Murph was “not happy with the Raiders”. What did they do to upset him? Bring in rookie talent to push him to the roster bubble? Shame on the Raiders, to do that to him!
Sorry LM, I don’t get your angst. Not the Raiders fault that you are always hurt.

maybe the “hamstring strain” report was overblown and he could have been a participant at OTA’s ??

Why is Ford a Kick returner, if JLH was too small to be a kickoff returner? Never understood this?
July 23rd, 2012 at 12:02 pm
hamstrings are tricky injuries. maybe he could’ve participated in OTA’s. Maybe at greater than acceptable risk for the REGGIE’s taste. Maybe that pissed off LM. Whatever…
Now he can go to Carolina and test that hammy. Business decision is all it was. Nothing more. No need to be angry at the REGG.

This time around, the expectation is that Oakland will likely receive a draft pick. According to Henry Wofford of CSNBayArea.com, Murphy was “not happy with the Raiders [and] wanted out” of Oakland.

Here’s a question for all FF players…
If you were to draft WR’s from the Raiders roster who would you draft and in what round?
July 23rd, 2012 at 12:21 pm
James Holmes should be forced to be Jamarcus Russell’s butler for eternity.
July 23rd, 2012 at 12:22 pm
you’ll notice that most of the killers these days look like they came straight from a Comic-Con convention.
not even lowlifes. just nolifes
It’s not about the mental state. It’s about one’s choices

James Holmes should be waterboarded. whatever other kinds of dramatic torture they are using nowadays too
perhaps just put him in a 12 x 12 concrete room with a bed & nothing to look at. then have prison lifers come in one at a time 30 minutes each to do whatever they want to him, short of killing him (of course).
===========================================
Holmes is gonna get worse than that, psychologically. He’ll probably be sent to a Supermax prison where he gets to spend the next 60 years lying on a one-inch foam pad on top of a concrete bed with only a black & white TV to keep him company, watching the world go on without him. He wanted to be a big important bigshot? He gets the exact opposite, rotting away in insignificance.

R8eray,
good question.
I’m lost at FF. But I plan on getting ready by the end of the 3rd week of preseason. I don’t touch drafts or even mocks till then. I think the situation won’t be clear till then. just my 2 cents.

This time around, the expectation is that Oakland will likely receive a draft pick. According to Henry Wofford of CSNBayArea.com, Murphy was “not happy with the Raiders [and] wanted out” of Oakland.

thanks, Jimbo!!

RD 1 – King Darrius
RD 4 – DMo17
undrafted: Ford, Criner, Streater, etc
July 23rd, 2012 at 12:24 pm
Criner in the late rounds. All he will do is catch TDs for us in the 2nd half.
July 23rd, 2012 at 12:24 pm
Conditional pick for Murph, makes sense.
July 23rd, 2012 at 12:26 pm
Here is teh really sad part…..
There will be a bunch of women in love with John Holmes. Guaranteed. Sick but it will happen.

Hate to see my bro @murph918 leave. Love you bro and good luck in your new beginning. U always a raider in my book bra.

I don’t think he necessarily wanted to be a “bigshot” perse. I think he got himself so warped pretending his life was some alternate version of Batman, the comic book that he seriously is deluded from reality. And because of that, this sick twisted fugr is going to mental hospital where he won’t even understand the meaning of life beyond those walls. I think he’ll actually be happier in an institution. Because he really is not sane.

@Duck
so basically, his next 60 years will be much like his last 24 ??
doesn’t sounds like the “punishment” fits the crime imo
July 23rd, 2012 at 12:28 pm
new post!!
July 23rd, 2012 at 12:29 pm
Yep, and I think we’d all rather have him handling returns than Moore, due to the injury risk that comes with that job.
========
Since JLH.
==========
Higgins was PR wasn’t he? Ford is KR and Dmo on PR?
2 totally different events.
Returning punts is kinda like playing tag. Lots of running space and everyone in the yard chasing you..
Returning kicks is like driving the wrong way down an 8 lane Freeway…..Collisions are imminent and leathal.

Good Luck Murpy, great trade Reggie!
Why is Ford a Kick returner, if JLH was too small to be a kickoff returner? Never understood this?
+++++++++
JFORD has what 4 KOR’s for TD’s…Has got nothing to do with size but ability…
JFORD is the most dangerous KOR in the NFL even with the adjustment the league made from 30 to 35
_________________________________________________
Sorry, not the point I was making. When we had JLH on the roster, our KOR guy was a FB! We always asked Jerry why JLH did not return kickoffs and he said he was too small! Then along comes Ford and blows that $@# out of the water.

I’d be willing to bet my bottom dollar that Holmes was on anti-depressants(Prozac, Paxil etc.) This tends to be true and come out eventually after most mass murders.

Yep. Looking at him today, it seems he’s now recognizing that grim reality.
July 23rd, 2012 at 1:16 pm
Looking at that psycho with his colored hair and that deranged look on his face it looks like he might be thinking ahead and going for an insanity plea.
July 23rd, 2012 at 1:19 pm
…not to suggest that he isn’t nuts for real.
July 23rd, 2012 at 1:22 pm
The radio station has already informed us we can’t say “what up holmes”. (i’m not kidding). It’s ok since i rarely say that. Geez.
Also, can’t play “Shoot to Thrill”, “Janie’s got a gun”, “Saturday Night Special” or “Whiskey in the Jar”.
Till further notice.

Here’s a question for all FF players…
If you were to draft WR’s from the Raiders roster who would you draft and in what round?
————————————
In a 12 team league- standard scoring, standard line-up
D. Moore round 7
DHB round 8
Criner round 14
subject to change as the season draws nearer
