The Arizona Cardinals were forced to remove the controversial hidden clause in Kyler Murray’s bumper new contract awarded to the star quarterback back in the offseason.
Murray ignited a controversy when his agent sent a letter to the Cardinals expressing his client’s eagerness to sign a lucrative new deal to lock up his long term future in Arizona. The 25-year-old, who won Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2019, has showcased enough ability and production to secure such a deal after establishing himself as the franchise quarterback for the foreseeable future.
The first overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft soon inked a $230.5million (£191m) extension - with $160m (£132m) guaranteed - to seemingly end any drama. However, things took a turn when details of Murray’s contract leaked with one clause in particular causing something of a commotion.
