The Cardinals are moving through an offseason that has been significantly tagged with many storylines. Above all else has been star quarterback Kyler Murray’s contract situation.
Murray has made it clear that he wants a lucrative long-term deal with the Cardinals. He still has two years remaining on his rookie contract, making his contract demand a bit early for the norm.
However, Murray sees the market for contracts for franchise cornerstone players at his position over the last couple of offseason. The likes of Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Deshaun Watson, Dak Prescott, Matthew Stafford, and Aaron Rodgers have all secured long-term deals.
