Multiple times this offseason, Arizona Cardinals general manager Steve Keim has referenced a certain timeline of when he will negotiate a contract extension for quarterback Kyler Murray.
Much like other teams who have handed out extensions to third-year QBs, Arizona has bided its time, letting the bulk of free agency, the 2022 NFL Draft, organized team activities and minicamp pass with no pen to paper.
“It’s no different for us,” Keim told reporters back in April. “It’s just sort of the way the system works, but nothing has changed in terms of him being our long-term and short-term quarterback.”
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes didn’t see a new deal until July. Buffalo Bills signal caller Josh Allen had to wait until August before inking an extension.
When will a contract extension get done between QB Kyler Murray and the #AZCardinals?
