The relationship between quarterback Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals has hit another in a series of hiccups.
Murray is not expected to play for the NFC West in 2022 without a new deal, reported NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero on Thursday.
The Cardinals have yet to make a contract offer to Murray, whose agent, Erik Burkhardt, informed the team weeks ago he was pulling his opening proposal off the table.
This is the latest move in a turbulent offseason that saw Murray, a No. 1 overall pick by Arizona out of Oklahoma, scrub his social media of anything to do with the team at one point.
Murray is set to make around $5.5 million in the fourth year of his rookie contract.
The #Cardinals have said they want to extend Kyler Murray eventually, and Murray said recently “I'm not really too worried about my future as a Cardinal." But with two weeks until the draft, there are no negotiations, and other teams are watching. A situation to monitor. https://t.co/N0sT3duzgX
