Kyler Murray's new contract with Cardinals mandates 'four hours of independent study' Jul 25 7/25/2022 11:28:15 PM |More Throughout the offseason histrionics leading to Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray's five-year, $230.5 million extension, there was plenty ado regarding the QB's maturity and commitment level. Upon officially signing his deal on Monday, it's time for for Murray to buckle down as stipulated by his contract, Grant Gordon of NFL.com reports. There is an addendum in Murray's new contract that requires the Pro Bowler to "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 contract," each week during the season, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Monday. Murray, a two-time Pro Bowler and former AP Offensive Rookie of the Year, made it clear when speaking to reporters last Friday that he "never" thought he would leave Arizona, but this contract stipulation demonstrates the Cardinals want their franchise face to be all in. The addendum details that independent study is studying material provided to him by the team in order to prepare for the upcoming game. This is to take place, as stipulated in the addendum, for the duration of the season(s) under the contract. Per the contract, a season begins on the first Monday following the conclusion of training camp and goes through the team's final game of the schedule, including the postseason. The clause states that the player will not receive credit for the independent study if the player "is not personally studying or watching the material while it is being displayed or played" or if the player is involved in activities that could distract his attention (i.e. television, video games or browsing the internet). The addendum also specifies that if the player is to breach the addendum in any way during the terms of the contract, he would be deemed "in default."

Damn, never heard of anything like that in a contract. You expect people to do the things necessary to do their job well. Every great player was a proponent of film study.

That’s a pretty embarrassing clause to have in a QBs contract.

It really isn’t AW, I work with today’s youth, you need to hold their hand and lead them around telling them their job all fucking day long. The scope of work doesn’t change, but you have to be a babysitter

I would take Kyler Murray's accuracy over Hurts any day. But, outside of that I would rather have Hurts leading my team. There is something about Murray that has always bothered me.

For $230million the guy should be sleeping with the friekin playbook. They own you period. If they tell you to piss off the top of the Empire State Building you do it. He faded as soon as Hopkins got hurt too and he had a hard time hooking up with anyone else. Kingsbury must have seen that he made a lot of miss reading of defenses and got pissed off about it. Those 1,000 yard yards rushing are great but I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up having a Super Ass career.
