Hopkins was suspended for the first six games of 2022 thanks to a failed PED test. Things haven’t gone especially well for the Cardinals this offseason. Rather than string him along as a lame duck, the team locked its head coach - and general manager Steve Keim - into deals that last until 2027 but can be terminated well before then. His initial contract with Arizona ran through 2022. Kingsbury signed a five-year contract extension back in March, but that doesn’t presage the kind of job security you might expect.
So did Kingsbury’s inability to innovate late in the year. It’s tough to find Murray in that second chart because he slipped from second place in expected points added and completion percentage above expected all the way to 18th (out of 29 qualified QBs). It’s also an extension befitting a player who looked like an All-Pro over the first half of the season ( per ’s advanced stats)… It’s an endorsement for a player whose overall level of play has improved in each of his three seasons as a pro. It pays him a higher salary than any other quarterback in the league but Aaron Rodgers. The deal ties Murray to the Cardinals through 2028. It gives Murray the second highest paid QB average at $46.1 million per year. They committed to Murray, giving him a longterm contract extension that tells the world, “We’re gonna roll with you, no matter who’s coaching.”Ĭardinals are giving Kyler Murray a five-year, $230.5 million deal that includes $160 million guaranteed, per source. On Thursday, with 2022 training camp just over the horizon, the Cardinals made a statement. It also obfuscates the fact that, come winter, he typically gets his butt kicked. 500 regular-season record makes him the franchise’s second-most successful coach since 1980. In 20, injuries helped turn dominant starts - 13-3 before November 8 those years! - into disappointing finishes.īut the biggest reason for those slides may be the overwhelmed head coach whose inability to make in-season adjustments has allowed the rest of the league to catch up. In 2019, a team punching above its weight class finally had a mediocre roster catch up to it. There have been several factors at play leading to these annual collapses. And for three straight years, his Cardinals have crashed back to Earth and out of Super Bowl contention as the weather grows cold. For three straight years, Murray has pushed his team above expectations throughout the first half of the season. The Arizona Cardinals’ Kyler Murray experiment has had mixed results, typically divided by the midway mark of the NFL’s regular season.
