“Keim traded up for Josh Rosen, then gave up on him after a year so he could take Kyler Murray. Spent his next 2 1st-round picks on inside linebackers, and seems hesitant to extend Murray,” noted Draft Wire’s Luke Easterling.

Hard to imagine the Cardinals’ decision will play well in the Kyler Murray camp.
