As a projected first-round NFL draft pick, Kyler Murray has leverage.
According to a report from WFAA's Mike Leslie, the Oklahoma quarterback is seeking $15 million from the Oakland Athletics to stick with baseball. The A's drafted Murray with the ninth overall pick in the 2018 MLB Draft. Murray received a $4.66 million signing bonus.
The report indicates that Murray will declare for the NFL draft by the deadline Monday if he doesn't receive more money from the A's.
I continue to hear that the A’s expect Kyler Murray to declare for the draft and they have no issue with him doing so.
