This isn’t shocking in the slightest. This opinion of Kyler Murray is widely shared, especially by those in NFL circles.
Just a few weeks ago, NFL insider Chris Mortensen had an alarming report about Murray’s attitude.
“The odd vibe between the @AZCardinals and Kyler Murray is indeed alarming: Murray is described as self-centered, immature and finger pointer, per sources. Murray is frustrated with franchise and was embarrassed by playoff loss to Rams and thinks he’s been framed as the scapegoat,” NFL insider Chris Mortensen tweeted on Sunday morning.

Kyler Murray added a new chapter to this dramatic offseason over the weekend when his agent released an unnecessary statement about one thing: wanting more money.

Murray is slowly losing the trust of his teammates, their families and Arizona Cardinals fans. Does he deserve a big contract? Absolutely. But alienating himself from the team seems like a strange decision.
