Chris Mortensen tweets that there is an “odd vibe” between the Cardinals and Kyler Murray. According to Mortensen, an unnamed source described Murray as self-centered, immature, and a finger pointer. However, in another tweet, he reported the situation is calm now, and the Cardinals want Kyler Murray to be their quarterback. He added, “Select veterans hope to reach Murray on how he handle adversity better. Coach Kliff Kingsbury also is self-scouting where he can provide better alternatives for QB.”

Perhaps Murray’s statement may have come after talking with the veteran player or Kingsbury. Additionally, this offseason, Murray and the Cardinals will be in the spotlight. The number one pick of the 2019 NFL Draft is eligible for a contract extension. However, we will have to see if the Cardinals make him one of the highest-paid athletes in the league or if they have something else in store for him.
