Arizona Cardinals told that Kyler Murray's homework clause "blew up the organisation"

The Arizona Cardinals have been told of the moment that ruined their season before it even started after a truly disappointing campaign - which has seen the team's head coach lose his job while their general manager stepped down to focus on his health.

After an 11-win season in 2021, much was expected heading into the new year after the team gave quarterback Kyler Murray a huge five-year, $230 million extension, whilst also giving head coach Kliff Kingsbury a fresh five-year deal.

But just days after the extensions were reported, a worrying and somewhat embarrassing clause was leaked in Murray's contract, with the quarterback being told that he must ‘complete at least four hours of independent study’ during game weeks, insisting he needed to study material provided to him by the Cardinals in order to appropriately prepare for each game throughout each season of the deal.
