The Arizona Cardinals and Kyler Murray went into this offseason on considerably rocky terms. We saw Murray scrub his Instagram page of Cardinals content while the Cardinals were leaking disparaging reports about Murray’s work ethic. It was a whole thing.
Though Murray and the Cardinals were ultimately able to agree on a massive $230.5 million contract extension, it certainly seems like the Cardinals have some concerns about Murray’s preparation habits. So much so that the Cardinals actually put an “Independent Study” requirement into Murray’s contract.
A screenshot of the addendum hit Twitter on Monday, and we could see that the Cardinals are requiring Murray to spend at least four hours per game week preparing on his own time.
