Hall of Fame quarterback Warren Moon chastised the “independent study” clause initially included in Kyler Murray’s contract extension with the Arizona Cardinals, chastising the language as a “slap in the face to all African-American quarterbacks.” Moon made the comment to TMZ for a story published on Sunday while discussing Murray’s $230 million extension that makes him the second-highest paid player in the NFL by annual salary. When Murray signed the deal last week, a clause in the contract… Source link

Kyler Murray’s “independent study” clause is no more. The Arizona Cardinals removed the clause in Murray’s contract that required him to watch film each week, the team announced Thursday night. [Set, hut, hike! Create or join a fantasy football league now!] The move, which came after harsh criticism from the quarterback and others, was done after the team realized “the distraction it created.” “After seeing the distraction it created, we removed the addendum from the contract,”… Source link

For 11 long and emotional minutes, Kyler Murray stood at a podium Thursday and defended himself and his work ethic as an athlete. You couldn’t blame him. Earlier this week, an addendum in his recently agreed upon $230 million contract ($160 million guaranteed) with the Arizona Cardinals was made public. It required Murray complete four hours of “independent study” during the week before each game. This is in addition to studying with coaches and teammates. It required Murray to… Source link

By all accounts, the Arizona Cardinals have done something unprecedented in the NFL’s history of elite quarterback contracts. And it’s not the $230.5 million total commitment in Kyler Murray’s record-setting deal. Nor is it the $160 million in guaranteed money or the $46.1 million average salary. All of those numbers had the league buzzing last week. But it’s another, much smaller number that had jaws hitting the floor on Monday. Four. More specifically, four hours. A time increment… Source link

We can finally put to bed the question of whether or not Kyler Murray made a mistake of picking football over baseball. After Murray signed a lucrative five-year, $230.5 million contract extension with the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday, his $46.1 million annual salary was almost that of the entire 2022 payroll of the Oakland Athletics — the same team that drafted him ninth overall in 2018. Yes, the Athletics are only spending $48.5 million this season. If you only look at the 26-man roster,… Source link

Murray confirms NBA used photo of his brother on draft night originally appeared on NBC Sports Bayarea The Kings selected Keegan Murray No. 4 overall in the 2022 NBA Draft, but the controversy wasn’t surrounding whether Sacramento made the right selection. Instead, it concerned whether the league used the right picture of the 21-year-old. Nonetheless, both Murray brothers confirmed that the NBA got the wrong photo on the big screen at the draft. Kris Murray laughed with reporters, letting them… Source link

The Arizona Cardinals‘ night was already going really bad, and then it reached ridiculous levels on one of the worst plays you’ll see a quarterback make in the playoffs.  The Los Angeles Rams led 14-0 and had the Cardinals backed up, facing a third-and-7. Kyler Murray went back to pass and held the ball an impossibly long time looking for a receiver. Eventually linebacker Troy Reeder got to Murray and started to wrap him up for what would have been a sack and safety. It got worse.  Murray… Source link

Every great quarterback knows they would be nothing without their offensive line. The men in the trenches who give them the time to set and throw the perfect spiral on the game-winning touchdown deserve a little recognition too, especially around the holidays. Ever since former Miami Dolphins QB Dan Marino famously gifted Isotoner gloves to his teammates in a memorable 1980s commercial, it’s almost become a cliché for the starting QB to at the very minimum give them a gift card to Outback… Source link
