The Kyler Murray situation sounds like it’s far from over. According to Albert Breer of TheMMQB, the Murray situation in Arizona has the “potential to get worse before it gets better.”

Specifically, Murray and his camp don’t want to wait until the summer to discuss a potential extension, which is what the QB was told by the organization following the season. Rather, Murray prefers to sign an extension with the Cardinals at some point between now and the draft in late April.
Why the rush? Well, if the wheels fall off and Murray ends up getting shopped, the QB’s camp believes the market will be more robust prior to the draft. The belief is that a trade partner would be willing to pay Murray his desired extension, which is why the player’s camp is so focused on the number of potential suitors…after the draft, a number of potential suitors will be off the board. Further, a summer holdout would be tougher due to “strengthened rules to further punish players who stay away.” Plus, a summer holdout means Murray would be spending crucial time away from his teammates, a factor that could be important if he ends up lining up under center for the Cardinals in 2022.
While Breer cautions that he’s not saying Murray will ultimately demand a trade, he believes that the scenario is on the table.
There is some good news for those rooting for Murray to return to Arizona. Per Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com, the QB has returned Cardinals images to his social media profiles. According to a source, this is “the latest olive branch that Murray has extended at a time when the relationship is frayed.”
Boo Hoo cry baby! “Pay me even though I’ve choked 3 years in a row….’.
I’d still take him in Pittsburgh
He had 1 bad playoff game and an atrocious offensive line and people blame him. Pay the man
Murray to Indianapolis?
Returning images of the team that employs him, to his social media profiles, is characterized as “the latest olive branch” that Murray has extended. Pathetic.
Teams want a man at QB not a child.
Not a big fan, talented but a cry baby!
Send him to MLB. He’ll fit right in
Colts desperately need a QB
Yes, but do they need Kyler Murray?
Lot of hate in the comments for a QB that’s better than what 20 teams parade out there on Sundays. Why is it so wrong for him to want to be paid like one? In a league with few guaranteed contracts it’s astonishing how fans still decry players who hold out to be paid their worth.
No one held a gun to his head to sign his current contract.
It’s a rookie deal. Yeah, they kinda did.
Shop him if we can get more than what the Seahawks did then See ya. Headcase now and forever.
If you get more for him than Wilson the GM that made the trade should be fired. He is not as good as Wilson. He is younger but I bet Wilson plays longer. He knows how to take a hit Murray takes too many hits. We will see what Wilson does with a good OL. He only had a decent line in Seattle a few times.
Major character flaws along with an immature attitude will make it difficult to trade him. Teams like the Colts and Steelers who have strong ownership won’t be interested
