With the NFL 2022 draft just around the corner, much of the drama around the veteran quarterback market seems over. Or not. The day after Brown’s Baker Mayfield accused Cleveland of disrespecting him before an imminent divorce, another former No. 1 is largely unstable. The Cardinals have not yet offered a long-term contract with QB Kyler Murray, according to NFL Media, although Murray’s agent is almost pushing for a new deal earlier this off-season. Murray’s office has also reportedly canceled its own contract offer and QB is not expected to play for Arizona in 2022 without a new deal.
The Cardinals have publicly stated that they believe in Murray’s development and would like to extend the 24-year-old QB at some point – he is entering the final year of his four-year rookie deal, which could run until 2023 if the Cardinals exercise his five-year option. Murray, meanwhile, said recently that “don’t worry too much about my future as a cardinal.” However, QB agent Eric Burkhard informed the team weeks ago that he was “withdrawing his offer to open (for a new deal) from the table” according to NFL Media’s Tom Pelisero and now “no negotiations”, with Murray unlikely to respond. your current deal.

Murray first sparked speculation about a rift with Arizona when he deleted all photos of the Cardinals from his social media after the 2021 season, and ESPN reported shortly afterwards that the team had concerns about QB’s leadership. The agent sent him a detailed letter in which he publicly asked the cardinals to give Murray not only verbal support, but also a lucrative financial commitment. The letter does not explicitly confirm that Murray will withstand off-season activities or future matches without a new deal, but does not rule out the possibility. Amid recent events, NFL Media reported on Thursday, other teams are monitoring the situation.
Murray has to pay approximately $ 11.4 million in 2022, making him the 18th highest paid QB in the NFL. Although he has achieved a lot since coming out of Oklahoma No. 1 in 2019, recording two Pro Bowl nods and the Offensive Rookie of the Year award as one of the biggest double threats in the game, he also finished three consecutive seasons or injured , or declining. Meanwhile, the Cardinals made 22-23-1 during his series as a starting QB, appearing in only one playoff game.
