While everything looks rather uncertain, Murray looks to have no desire to quit Az, being the No. 1 choice in the 2019 NFL Draft. The 2-time Pro Bowler was in the running for NFL MVP last year until being put off due to ailments for 3 matches. Kyler Murray is now in the latter year of his rookie deal, which has a cap hit of only $11.4 million for the new season. He is certainly hoping for a full agreement, considering the recent lucrative packages given out to all other top-tier passers.
