Kyler Murray Contract Extended

[Shane]

oh boy --

K1s contract has provisions / bonuses on offseason work AND in game time spent studying

this will make this thead go at least another 20 pages...........

That’s awesome that they got that in there. 100% !!!! But the fact that they had to do that and it was required to be put in writing to keep him honest is sort of telling as to what was/had been said around here related to study habits.

But forced study is better than no study so hopefully it helps a ton. Good job on the FO for that.

Interesting development with that tidbit. One thing tho how will the cards know it was him at the ipad? Does he have to do it on camera?

I’m betting independent study at the facility…. It’s hot like 4 hours is really a lot in a weeks time. An extra 45 mins to hour each practice afterward would fill that easy….

Embarrassing as a whole for this to be leaked.

Could be, I remember an article written when Carson Palmer was our QB of what he went through every week during the season. And it started as soon as he got home after the plane landed.

Extremely normal that this is in here and that it specifically says you can't be playing video games while you study.

Just a reminder that Kyler Murray will be 25 years old in two weeks and is a multi-millionaire.

 

[Syracusecards]

I just hope the contract also covers eating all his vegetables and taking the garbage out.

 

[GatorAZ]

Kyler has made his feelings on grinding in the film pretty clear so I’m not shocked there’s stipulations like this but it benefits neither party that this gets out.

 

[TJ]

I'm bothered by the need to have this contingency in his contract but understand the need. That and having a substantial amount of money tied to workout bonuses shows that they dont have much confidence in his work ethic outside of the facility. Then again, this is Kind of the same thing that we did for Dan Williams and his weight. Extra motivation to do the right thing.

Yeah… not crazy that the cardinals felt it was necessary to put this bonus in there.

Oh well. Is what it is.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

I have no issue with the language or the fact it got out. It shows the team was responsible in handing out this contract and also that Kyler was willing to put this time in.

At the same time it's also pointless.

Its hard to fully track anyway and what are they going to do if he only does 2 hours? Void his contract?

 

[football karma]

very conflicted here

the pessimist says: this basically confirms all the whispers / verbal subtweets said about K1. When teammates say "he is the most talented player they have ever been around.." its both a compliment AND a dig. I think this also sheds light on one of the topics Steve K and Kliff talked to Team Murray (i.e. his dad) about.

the optimist says: the last 7 weeks were humbling for him. He went from MVP candidate to everyone's favorite "i told you so..." guy. The most talented guy on the field now realizes more is needed. Hopefully this is a like Todd Haley telling Fitz he was one dimensional -- and Fitz maturing to become a technician on his craft.

 

[BritCard]

Well at least this clears up why there was some reticence in paying him.

You don't put this in if you're happy with the work habits away from the team facilities.

The weirdest part is 4 hours is ridiculously low for a game week. Carson Palmer would watch 15-20 hours.

So why have it?

I can see Kingsbury walking into the room like a parent, "have you done your homework Kyler?", and then his uncle Keim asking the same of him lol

They are paying JJ Watt extra on the side to enforce it by being in the room with Kyler... which is good practice for him not going into a fetal position anytime a defensive lineman is around

Wouldn’t be hard to track at all especially in facility. I’m betting independent study means him and a coach not just him. Away from other teammates. Easy as hell to keep track of.

Keim and Kliff talked to Kyler's parents about his having to do his homework...

NFL twitter is really hating on this

I think it is being blown completely out proportion because I bet the details on some contract which are never leaked are a lot more worrisome than this, as probably the stipulations about women of ill repute lol

 

[Dr. Jones]

Well...... I'm fine with spelling it out but it seems impossible to enforce.

100+ million guaranteed to Kyler and this is what we have to spell out. Andrew Brandt already said this is highly unique so I'll take his word for that.

Man we are getting roasted on social media. Pretty embarrasing to let this leak IMO.
