Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray skipped a lot of the group’s voluntary offseason program in 2022, as he tried to get a brand new contract. The brand new contract that he bought provides him loads of causes to voluntarily take part in future offseason applications.

Per a league supply, the contract consists of $9.3 million in exercise bonuses, tied to participation within the offseason program.

Given the magnitude of the deal, it’s not a big incentive. But it surely’s very uncommon for a group to tie a lot money to displaying up for voluntary exercises.

Clearly, they need him there for OTAs and different offseason preparations. In addition they might understand that, inside three years or so, he might regard his contract as out of date — and he might begin attempting to get a brand new one.

That’s the opposite actuality of the deal. Although it lasts for seven years, Murray undoubtedly can be searching for an adjustment because the market modifications and the cap climbs. Perhaps in as quickly as three years from now. If he decides to withhold voluntary providers within the offseason as he tries to get an adjustment, he’ll be sacrificing some pretty giant checks.
