Cardinals Quarterback Outlook: Kyler Murray social media drama and retaining a key backup

The Kyler Murray drama on social media has been one heck of a roller coaster ride starting from his Instagram scrub of Cardinals-related content earlier last month to his NFL Agent Erik Burkhardt sending an overly lengthy statement in support of his client this past Monday.

All of this was done for the sole reason of wanting a contract extension as he enters the fourth year of his rookie deal.

According to Spotrac, they have Murray’s market value set at a six-year $258 million which equates to $43 million annually. It would not be surprising at all if his contract demands are much higher than that as a two-time Pro Bowler and 2019 Offensive Rookie of the Year.
