Kyler Murray finally got his wish fulfilled. The Arizona Cardinals offered him a massive contract, as they saw him as their franchise quarterback. The deal is worth $230.5 million over five years, including $160 million guaranteed. It will keep Murray with the Cardinals for at least six more seasons.
However, there is a small twist in the new contract for Murray. Apparently, there is a homework clause included in the deal offered by the Cardinals. According to the textbook, Murray has to do an independent study for hours in the weeks leading up to the games.

According to a report, the contract has these stipulations:
Player shall not receive any credit for Independent Study with respect to any time periods during which any material is displayed or played on an iPad or electronic device if:
- The player is not personally studying or watching the material while it is being displayed or played.
- The 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.
Murray often isolates himself from his teammates. If he studies the film before the games consistently, he’ll be well prepared for the games. Due to that, he’ll be able to lead his teammates just like other quarterbacks in the league do.
Kyler Murray needs to stay consistent through the entire season

The biggest argument that is put up against Kyler Murray every season is his consistency. He starts off every year in good form, but by the end of the season, he fades away. Kliff Kingsbury’s teams are known for fading a bit in the latter stages of the season.
Hopefully, Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals will be able to fix that issue. They have a pretty good team, but the road ahead is tough. Their schedule is quite tough, and making the playoffs will be a challenge for the Cardinals.

Murray will be required to show his worth to the franchise. There was a long drama around his future, but since it’s resolved now, the former No. 1 overall pick will be expected to lead this team from the front.
