Kyler Murray finally got his huge contract from the Arizona Cardinals, and the fans on Twitter were quick to take digs at him.
The Arizona Cardinals and Kyler Murray have finally agreed upon a deal that will see Murray as the franchise quarterback for multiple years to come. After an offseason full of drama, the Cardinals showed their trust in Murray and offered him a lucrative deal.
On the other hand, this deal will further result in the inflation of the quarterback market, which was started by the deal of Deshaun Watson. Nevertheless, Kyler Murray earned his contract, and the franchise didn’t mind giving him the money that he desired.
According to Adam Schefter of ESPN: Cardinals are giving QB Kyler Murray a five-year extension that ties him to Arizona for six more years, per source. Cardinals are giving Kyler Murray a five-year, $230.5 million deal that includes $160 million guaranteed, per source. It gives Murray the second highest paid QB average at $46.1 million per year.
The NFL Fans on Twitter felt that the Cardinals paid a lot more money than Kyler deserved. Here are some of the best reactions to the huge deal of Kyler Murray.
Murray and his coach, Kliff Kingsbury, have been long known for slipping in the second half of the season. As a result, they aren’t able to make noise in the playoffs, and their season ends in a pretty disappointing manner.
Since the Cardinals have given him such a huge contract, the pressure will now be on Murray. He will be required to perform well in the postseason as well, and if he doesn’t step up, there will be a huge number of fans that will turn against him.
