Kyler Murray contract situation Cardinals veteran says two sides getting closer ahead of 2022 training camp

coach Kliff Kingsbury has been "praying" the team will sign quarterback to a long-term contract extension . Now, with just three weeks until rookies report to camp, at least one of Murray's teammates believes the two Chris Jones Jersey sides are "getting closer" to a deal. Starting guard told this week that Murray and the Cardinals are still working toward an agreement, suggesting "it's only a matter of time" before talks are finalized."We were always under the impre sion he was going to be here (this offseason)," Pugh said of Murray, . "Obviously, he may not be as happy as he would be if he had the contract, but he's been here, which lets you know the two sides are getting closer. If it was further apart and they weren't seeing eye to eye and Melvin Ingram III Jersey things weren't close, I don't think he would be here. ... Showing that we are working toward that, I think it's only a matter of time before this thing gets done. Hopefully it's done before camp, so we just have everything in the rear view." Marcus Allen Jersey How far will Arizona go this season? All signs point to Pugh being correct. Earlier this offseason, Murray and the Cardinals appeared to be on shaky ground. ESPN reported Arizona was concerned about the QB's leadership, and Murray's agent released a lengthy public statement all but demanding a contract extension before the 2022 season. The former No. 1 overall draft pick attended mandatory minicamp, however, ending any speculation of a holdout, and both Kingsbury and general manager Steve Keim have publicly supported signing Murray beyond 2022."We're about to Jarran Reed Jersey make him, I'm sure, the highest-paid player in this franchise's history," Kingsbury previously said, , "and so he understands what comes with that. The guys know what he can be at his best." Murray, 24, is technically already under Juan Thornhill Jersey contract with the Cardinals through the 2023 season, after Arizona exercised the QB's fifth-year option this April. He would likely see a ma sive pay raise on an extension, with most veteran starting QBs averaging at least $35 million per year on long-term deals signed this year.
