Share to twitterKyler Murray poses with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell after he was picked #1 overall by the Arizona Cardinals during the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft. The top of the NFL Draft unfolded as expected with Kyler Murray, Nick Bosa and Quinnen Williams the first three picks off the board. And then like clockwork, the Oakland Raiders did the unexpected and picked defensive end Clelin Farrell with the fourth pick.
Murray can afford the giveback, as he is about cash in as the top overall pick. Murray’s five-year contract with the Cardinals is expected to be worth $35.2 million, including a $23.6 million, according to an NFL insider. His total 2019 compensation should be $24.1 million with a $495,000 base salary.
