Murray had appeared to be upset with how contract negotiations were going over the course of the offseason. He had not been eligible for an extension until the regular season ended. His agent said in February a contract proposal was sent to the Cardinals that was "in-line with the current QB market that compares his current results alongside relevant comps, lowers his 2022-23 salary cap to allow the team to re-sign other deserving teammates and add additional free-agents, and most importantly represents a real commitment from the organization to see if their ultimate goals align with his 2 above (consistently competing for championships and Kyler being their QB)."
