Money doesn’t buy happiness, but it’s clear that someone is happier with a few bills in their pocket. Kyler Murrayand, his general Arizona Cardinals, I had it clear.

Murray and the Cardinals were at odds after ending a disappointing season with a 34-11 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in the Wild Card round. The quarterback had sent signals that he wanted out, but the franchise didn’t budge. In early July there was an agreement in principle: he joined the activities organized by the franchise. This was the beginning of what has already been mentioned.
Why did Kyler Murray get the second biggest contract in the NFL?
That question must be answered by Kyler Murray himself, who at the moment does not seem to hold such an award. Although he clearly has the talent (to spare) and weapons to be considered an elite driver. In Arizona they are excited to win their first Super Bowl or at least get back to one like they did in 2009 (they lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers).
2021 promised to be a great year for the top picks in the 2019 class. After a first learning campaign (5-10-1 record, he was offensive rookie of the year) and a second consolidation (8-8), the third started in full for the Cardinals who started 10-2.
However, the season finale fell far short of expectations. Arizona has lost four of its last five Regular Season games, including a 30-12 loss to the Detroit Lions, the second-worst team in the league.
In a bad mood, they faced some up-and-coming Rams in the Playoffs, who not only crushed them, but continued their way to the title. From the hand of Matthew Stafford, the Angels stayed with the glory in their field.
What weapons does Kyler Murray have on the Arizona Cardinals?
Kyler Murray finished 2021 with 3,787 passing yards on 69.2% completion, plus 423 rushing yards, nearly half of what he had in 2020 (819). He avoided punts, focused more on his deliveries and also reduced his TD count: he went from 37 total to 29. It can be alarming, although it is far from a concern.
Murray will have great attacking partners. Although he will be suspended for the first six games of the season, De Andre Hopkins he’s an elite WR (the Madden 23 video game ranked him the fourth-best in the league with a 96 rating), while Jacques Ertz Y James Conner They have already worked as very good supplements. Offensive line work will be crucial in taking care of a small (1.78) player with a long injury history.
The Cardinals are not only a good team offensively but also have big names on defense. baker of Buddha Y JJ Watt They are the leaders of a defense that needs to put Murray on the floor more.
