Kyler Got His Contract, But Cardinals Got Favorable Terms

The offseason drama between Kyler Murray and the Cardinals was resolved last week with a mega-contract extension that now binds Murray to the team for the next seven seasons (if they choose to have him there). It quiets the rumbles of discontent from Murray’s camp since last season ended, including a missive on social media from agent Erik Burkhardt that said, in so many words: Kyler’s been a starter there for three years playing for peanuts; show him the money! And the Cardinals did, albeit with some fine print about the money and guarantees, and some truly unique language not previously seen—at least by this writer—in this history of NFL contracts.
