Analyst: Kyler Murray’s Contract Impacts Cardinals Draft Plans


“Harrison is the top prospect on the B/R board at any position, and he has perennial All-Pro potential. The Cardinals aren't likely to find a prospect of his caliber in future drafts, and they could have a hard time chasing one on the free-agent or trade markets because of Murray's growing salary.”

  1. With Kyler on a big salary, 5 years of MHJ on a rookie deal is an absolute must to go after. Completely agree with this article, that any WR that we can sign in FA will not be a top tier player

  2. I mean, yeah. You want high paying positions on the cheapest long term deals possible. WR, T, DT, Edge, CB, and QB. If you can find a blue chip talent at one of those positions, you draft him early and the cap guy thanks you later

  3. Kyler will make the money in his contract. He concludes this will hamper cards picking 4th, despite us having the cap space.

    Completely pointless story.

  4. Yes Kyler makes a lot of money, for better or for worse. But the advantage of it is that we know how much we can spend without worrying about worrying about an incoming contract like other teams in cap hell.

  5. I think their decision to stay our trade out will show us what the front office thinks of Kyler

  6. Murray’s cap hit is at its worst in 2024, after this year it improves every season.
