The Cardinals and Kyler Murray have agreed to a contract extension, the team announced Thursday. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport was the first to report the news that a “monster” contract extension was agreed upon.
The deal is worth $230.5 million over five years that includes $160 million guaranteed, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Murray is now the NFL’s second highest-paid quarterback with a $46.1 million salary per year. He had two years and roughly $35.2 million left on his rookie deal, so he is now tied to Arizona for seven more years, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
The extension ends a long offseason of drama between Arizona and the star quarterback, who hasn’t been shy that he wanted a new deal in the first offseason he was eligible.
