With the 2022 NFL Draft just around the corner, much of the drama surrounding the veteran generals market seems to be over. Or not. One day after the Browns Baker Mayfield accused Cleveland of disrespecting him in the face of an imminent divorce, another former No. 1 overall pick is on shaky ground. The Cardinals have not yet offered a long-term contract to QB Kyler Murray, according to NFL Media, despite the fact that Murray’s agent is seeking a new deal earlier this season. Murray’s representation is also reportedly withdrawing its own contract offer and the 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 evolution and would like to extend the 24-year-old QB at some point – entering the final year of his four-year rookie deal, which could run until 2023 if the Cardinals make his fifth choice. Murray, meanwhile, recently said he was “not too worried about my future as a Cardinal.” QB agent Erik Burkhardt, however, informed the team weeks ago that he was “taking his original proposal (for a new deal) off the table”, according to NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero, and now “there are no negotiations” , with Murray incredible. in accordance with its current agreement.

Murray first sparked speculation of a rift with Arizona when he deleted all of the Cardinals’ photos from social media after the 2021 season, and ESPN reported shortly afterwards that the team had concerns about QB leadership. His agent published a detailed letter publicly asking the Cardinals to give Murray not only verbal support but a lucrative financial commitment. The letter did not explicitly confirm that Murray would stop off-season activities or future games without a new deal, but did not rule out the possibility. In the midst of the latest developments, NFL Media reported on Thursday, other teams are monitoring the situation. Murray is expected to reach $ 11.4 million in 2022, making him the 18th highest paid QB in the NFL. Although he has achieved a lot since coming out at No. 1 from Oklahoma in 2019, recording two Pro Bowl nods and an Offensive Rookie of the Year award as one of the game’s top double threats, he has also completed three consecutive seasons either injured or in a fall. . The Cardinals, meanwhile, scored 22-23-1 during his stint as the original QB, appearing in just one playoff game.
