The Arizona Cardinals opened voluntary organized team activities (OTAs) Monday without quarterback Kyler Murray. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, as expected, he will not participate this week, as he and the team work on a contract extension.
This part of the offseason program is voluntary and many veterans likely will not be in attendance for everything. Nothing is mandatory until minicamp. The Cardinals will hold minicamp June 14-16.
His absence is connected to his contract. The team picked up his fifth-year option that pays him nearly $30 million next season, but this season he is only due to make around $5.5 million in combined salary and roster bonus.
