Kyler Murray scrubbed his social media of all the pics of him in Cardinals, making it seem like he wanted out, but he’s in Arizona to stay for the foreseeable future.
Murry recently signed a five-year $230 million extension with the team, where he has $160 million in guarantees. It’s an excellent deal for both sides, but it just has one big stipulation in the agreement.
He has homework every week.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Cardinals have an addendum in Murray’s new contract that says he is required to do 4 hours of independent film study per game week.
Here are the details of the contract.
“Player shall complete at least four (4) hours of Independent Study (as defined below) each week (excluding any bye week) during each Playing Season (as defined below) during the term of the Contact.”
“‘Independent Study’ means Player studies the material provided to him by the Club in order to prepare for the Club’s next upcoming game, including without limitation any such material provided via an iPad or other electronic device. Time spent in mandatory meetings shall not constitute Independent Study. Player shall receive no credit for Independent Study for any period which Player does not personally study the provided material in good faith.”
“Player shall not receive any credit for Independent Study with respect to any time periods during which any material is displayed on an iPad or other electronic device if (a) Player is not personally studying or watching the material while it is being displayed or played or (b) Player is engaged in any other activity that may distract his attention (for example, watching television, playing video games or browsing the internet) while such material is being displayed or played.”
That means playing Madden doesn’t count.
If you’re an NFL QB, you’re more than likely doing a lot of film study anyway, making it seem like they don’t believe he is either doing any film study or not doing enough film study.
Either way, social media had a field day with the news.
