We heard the rumor/speculation before that Murph might be a candidate to move to DE.

Personally I didn't buy it then and I still don't buy it now.

Murph has value in his currently role. Asking him to bulk up and move to DE in base defense is a huge ask.

It could also mean they want him to play DE in a 4 man line on passing downs. But between him Ryan, Gallette and Preston...Murph is the last of that group I expect quality pass rush from.

Murph is good at setting the edge as a 34 OLB and there is value there on 1st and 2nd down and in known/expected run situations. Murph in that role allows Junior to be come in fresh as a situational pass rusher.
