Kyler Murray Contract Extended

[Chris_Sanders]

At least the jersey curse is broken. One my jerseys made it to a 2nd contract.

So we paid more money, which matters for future cap space AND we didn't get needed cap relief during free agency. Bravo front office, bravo

Work like that deserves a 5 year extension!

 

[Finito]

This is actually a really good deal for the Cardinals.

Kind of surprised

Hummm… I’d like to see the terms of this contract. Is it paid out $46.1 million per year or does it start low and builds over time? When does the guaranteed money run out. (As soon as guaranteed $$ runs out, I’ll bet Kyler is asking for new contract.) But, man, I wouldn’t have offered up this contract at this point in Cardinal’s history. I just don’t see Kyler as the second highest paid QB in the NFL. Two reasons: 1) Too many other needs on the team to empty the bank on 1 player, 2) Kyler hasn’t shown on the field that he’s a great QB, worthy of this contract. He’s good, but not great.

I'm not sure I would call it a good deal.

It's not a terrible deal.

 

[football karma]

the base line pre-extension for K1s cap hit was:

$11mm hit for 2022
$30mm for 2023
a franchise tag of ~$50mm or so for 2024


lets see what the after looks like cap hit wise when the NFLPA releases the actual contract

So glad this got done before Training camp started. Didn't want that distraction!

That is so crazy!

 

[Russ Smith]

How does this compare to the original Murray agent proposal?

I'm thinking the same thing as Chris Sanders said for months if they'd given him the deal then it would have been cheaper. But then likely would have wanted more sooner since that's how agents and players roll

Good for Kyler. He and Kliff can drive me crazy as a fan, but I’ll never stop cheering for them. Now stay healthy for a season and win a playoff game or two. Heck don’t stop there, win the whole damn thing!

 

[BritCard]

Love how the media overreacted to the lack of an extension. This followed the Mahomes timeline more or less. This was always going to get done before training camp. Glad everyone can settle down and focus on Kliff’s impending second half collapse.

This off season has been constant rage at non stories.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

It's so funny, thinking about all the hand wringing by people on here and national media, over whether the Cards would extend Murray, would Murray demand a trade...hahaha

All the while, for months, everyone from the owner, GM, coach, etc all said they wanted him here...that these extensions typically happen before training camp in July, yet almost nobody listened...haha

Could the contract have looked different $$wise earlier??? Maybe. We've never actually seen the numbers, only what the AGENT made public. Maybe at that time the $$ was less, but terms were worse???? We'll most likely never really know the entire truth.

I wish I had bought stock in Maalox back in February...hahaha At least everyone can sleep peacefully now, until the next PFF rankings come out.

How did we pay more? Where did he ask for $40m?

 

[unseenaz]

Pat Mahomes contract aging like fine wine

 

[Chris_Sanders]

The initial deal.averages were well reported

 

[ajcardfan]

Sounds about right. Thank God the season is about to start and there will be something else to talk about.

Look in the thread where all of the drama started, or use your favorite browser/search engine.

Kudos to the Board. Three pages in, and not one, "It would have been better and cheaper to have stayed with Rosen."

 

[ajcardfan]

I'm thinking the same thing as Chris Sanders said for months if they'd given him the deal then it would have been cheaper. But then likely would have wanted more sooner since that's how agents and players roll

Yes, I said, even right after the playoff loss, that was the time to extend. There was never a doubt it would happen, so waiting certainly would mean paying more.

But, it's not my money and I don't cheer for salary cap management.

Come on Russ if he plays well enough to “live up” to this contract he will want more sooner regardless and we all know it. Waiting 4 months didn’t change that. No way no how. He will be clamoring for more with 2 years left and possibly 3.
