Murray's stats - in a 17-game pace - were on par with his career numbers, but the veteran, according to Bally Sports, said Murray"felt less compulsion to study his game plan or to fulfill the expectations of the franchise QB position than he had in the past, and the Cardinals' collapse felt predictable."
Upon extending Murray, the Cardinals included a clause that required four hours of"independent study," which consisted of film and game study during game weeks. After receiving backlash for the clause, the Cards removed the addendum from the contract.
