The Arizona Cardinals ‘created a monster’ when they awarded quarterback Kyler Murray with a bumper new contract last summer, according to an anonymous teammate.
Murray was in the headlines for much of the last year after his agent applied public pressure on the Cardinals to sign the quarterback to a long-term contract. Back in July, Murray eventually put pen to paper on a five-year extension worth £188million with £130m guaranteed.
The 25-year-old, who won Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2019 after he was selected first overall by Arizona, seemingly showcased enough ability and production to earn the monster new contract after establishing himself as the franchise quarterback for the foreseeable future. However, Murray struggled to stay healthy and threw for just 2,368 yards along with 14 touchdowns while the Cardinals slipped to a 4-13 record.
