Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray will not attend organized team activities this week, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Murray and Arizona have been in a very public negotiation for a contract extension, but there has been no advancement on those talks.
OTAs are optional, and coach Kliff Kingsbury told reporters he expects for Murray to attend mandatory minicamp from June 14-16. The Cardinals exercised the fifth-year option on Murray's contract last month, guaranteeing him a salary of about $29 million in 2023.
But before that, Murray made several public moves to put pressure on Arizona to prioritize his extension this offseason. In February, he scrubbed any mention or image of the Cardinals from both his Twitter and Instagram. At the time, it was unclear what prompted the move.
