With everything starting to appear copacetic between the Cardinals and quarterback Kyler Murray, the team’s owner, Michael Bidwill, addressed the 24-year-old’s future in Arizona, as reported by Jeremy Cluff of The Arizona Republic. As Murray heads into the fourth year of his rookie contract, Bidwill discussed the possibility for an extension.
“The window has just opened for a contract extension. Certainly he’s part of our long-term plan,” Bidwill said of Murray. “Most of the big ones are done further down the road, I think Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen were done in the summer time. Others were done in the summer time. So we’ve got time, but they’re complicated.”
In respect to the turmoil surrounding the quarterback, Bidwill claimed he and Murray have had “good conversations non-stop.”
While expressing the desire to give Murray an extension out of his rookie contract, Bidwill also acknowledged that the team has other priorities, as well, namely bringing back some key free agents. He recently expressed his wishes to retain two-time All-Pro linebacker Chandler Jones, which Jones appeared scoff at. Newcomers to the desert, running back James Conner and tight end Zach Ertz, have both made it known that they would be more than happy to consider re-signing.
Other Cardinals headed to free agency include running back Chase Edmonds, wide receiver Christian Kirk, veteran wideout A.J. Green, and tight end Maxx Williams. While the Cardinals’ owner is looking forward to finding a way to keep Murray long-term, he and his front office have some work to do in the meantime.
Poor baby. Doesn’t want to live up to a contract he signed. How about he performs and earns a new contract first.
Who are you even talking about ? I’ll assume you mean kyler and he has been amazing since coming into the nfl. Before this last season he was even running better than Michael Vick ever did. Nowhere in this article does it say anything about Kyler complaining about his contract. Man some people just like to whine
He has actually just been overrated. Decent QB, sure, but not elite. He is similar to Garoppalo. You sound like you have a crush on him. Quite frankly, if Murray was “amazing” there would be no question about him.
He’s easily a top 10 qb and probably higher. Let’s see who is better in no particular order
Patrick Mahomes
Josh Allen
Lamar Jackson (maybe)
Russell Wilson
Aaron Rodgers
Hell I’ll even include Brady
That’s about it. Funny nfl.com has an article that was written back in January where they rated him 7th overall
link to nfl.com
He was also 7th in qbr this past season

But I’m sure you know much more than anyone who writes for nfl.com. Nice try troll try again.
I say all this as a cowboys fan Kyler is wayyyyyy better than dak and it’s not even close
The fact you say he’s similar to jimmy g shows you don’t watch football
Sound like Kyler hurt your feelings. Hang in their chief, you’ll be ok.
I’m not a Cardinals fan so I like the big collapse last season (that was a team collapse, not just on him). Simply trying to be objective, I think he is overrated, but still a decent QB.
I took a big dump and put you in your place but my comment is being moderated. All good you compared kyler to jimmy g proving you don’t watch football
Like I said…sounds like you have a crush on him.
Like I said nice try troll. Maybe you should actually watch the nfl before commenting that’s a thought. Again you said kyler is similar to Jimmy g you’ve proven to everyone here you know nothing at all about the nfl. Quit while you’re behind it’ll only get worse for you

Maybe the links were why it got flagged either way there you go chump. Now go back to your hole and pipe down
Settle down, Cartman. Murray’s representatives should be looking into a restraining order against you.
Its very typical to start looking at rookie contract in 4th year. He has earned a extension for play…not sure if you are watching the same player everyone else is.
I’m guessing he drafted him in madden had a terrible season and is basing his hate on that. No way he watched the real Kyler Murray and thinks he doesn’t deserve an extension
He’s absolutely lived up to his rookie deal. Are you kidding? And they’ve kept their GM despite iffy performance in football and otherwise.
The Cardinals have become an entertaining team to watch the past few years so it would be nice if they can continue to build on the momentum they’ve achieved. Fans in the desert deserve something better than the Coyotes and Diamondbacks.
Ever heard of the Suns?
Im not sure he’s amazing but he is a top 15 QB in the league which is nothing to sneeze at. Im not a huge RPO-QB guy but the offense has its place in football. Murray’s height creates problems in the pocket but his movement evens that out. So if the Cards think he’s their guy then pay him? The league has shelled out money to players the succeed or fail in the long run every year. His gamble is no different than any other.
Read between the lines guys; Kyler thinks he’s as deserving as Allen and Sideshow Bob. He threw a tantrum to try to get his team to recognize that. However, his team doesn’t have to and in fact have higher priorities to deal with to make the team better for poor Kyler.
You’ll get paid buddy, be patient and grow up.
Lol, tantrum? I must have missed that one
