Seahawks rookie pranked with $155K dinner bill

As his teammates were hooting and hollering, Murphy could do nothing but stare wide-eyed with his mouth agape.

Although Murphy signed a four-year, $16.08 million rookie contract, he’ll earn just $2.92 million before taxes this season. Needless to say, a $155K bill would hurt the wallet a bit.

Luckily for Murphy, his teammates were just pranking him and the final bill was nowhere close to that number. Not to say it was cheap, though, as he was still forced to shell out $38,015.82 for a dinner that included eight shots of D’Usse 1969 scotch ($1,200 each), Louis XIII brandy ($8,050), and a tip of around $6,300.

It was also significantly more expensive than the 2023-24 team dinner that cost the rookies $22,203.60.

Murphy will earn plenty over the duration of his contract but won’t soon forget Tuesday night’s prank. However, he can look forward to next year when he’ll be in on the joke.

In 13 games this season, Murphy has recorded 36 tackles (12 solo, two for a loss), one QB hit, and 0.5 sacks, while earning an overall Pro Football Focus grade of 58.8.
