He now has long-term security, a boatload of guaranteed money and he can stop his offseason dramas and focus only on winning.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AZCardinals?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#AZCardinals<\/a> and two-time Pro Bowl QB Kyler Murray are working to close a monster extension that will make Murray one of the NFL\u2019s highest-paid players, sources tell me and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TomPelissero?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@TomPelissero<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>After an offseason of drama, Murray could be locked in as AZ\u2019s QB for years to come.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RapSheet\/status\/1550151645778116609?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 21, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/players\/lamar-jackson\/\"><strong>Lamar Jackson<\/strong><\/a>: We just talked about young quarterbacks signing big contract extensions, and the next name on the list is Lamar Jackson &#8211; Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen and Kyler Murray all got their wishes, while Lamar and the Ravens are still in negotiations. With Murray&#8217;s new deal serving as a baseline in numbers, Jackson&#8217;s new deal will probably make him the second-highest paid quarterback in the league, losing to Rodgers only. There&#8217;s no way Lamar earns less than Kyler being a better, most-proved player.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kliff Kingsbury<\/strong>: Kliff was in the middle of some offseason drama between his quarterback and his organization, and there was nothing he could do to resolve the situation, which was becoming a bigger distraction than what he wanted in a year where he&#8217;s under pressure in his job. With Murray signing a new deal, everybody can move on and just focus on football, which should help Kingsbury as well &#8211; the offense was moving really well last year before Murray got hurt.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Marquise Brown<\/strong>: Murray not only is one of Brown&#8217;s best friends, but he has a cannon for an arm, and Brown works better as a deep threat. These two guys should continue this partnership for a long time after &#8216;Hollywood&#8217; was traded to Arizona as their strengths complement each other.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Losers:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Arizona Cardinals<\/strong>: The Cardinals had basically no option but to pay Murray, even though he hasn&#8217;t proven yet that he deserves the big numbers from this new contract. Arizona wouldn&#8217;t risk losing their franchise quarterback for free, but they knew he was pushing hard to get a new deal and things would only get uglier from here. There will be no distractions anymore, but salary-wise, this move doesn&#8217;t look good for the franchise.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Deshaun Watson&#39;s contract with the Browns: 5-years, $230M (fully guaranteed). $46M per year.<\/p>\n<p>Kyler Murray&#39;s extension with the Cardinals: 5-years, $230.5M ($160M guaranteed). $46.1M per year.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Field Yates (@FieldYates) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FieldYates\/status\/1550155479598481408?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 21, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><strong>Offensive linemen<\/strong>: D.J. Humphries, Justin Pugh and Rodney Hudson are all set to become free agents in 2023. With Murray&#8217;s contract money coming into the books, it will be tough for the franchise to negotiate new deals with them. It&#8217;s unlikely that they&#8217;ll all be back after this season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Baltimore Ravens<\/strong>: It&#8217;s not exactly new information for the Ravens, but now that the baseline is set for Lamar&#8217;s new contract, they&#8217;ll have to pay him<strong> at least<\/strong> $46,5M to tie him for the long-term. Jackson is a much better quarterback than Murray, though, so Baltimore won&#8217;t feel upset in giving their quarterback a big extension like Arizona is feeling right now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quarterback market, again<\/strong>: If you need to sign your quarterback to a new deal, buckle up: things aren&#8217;t going to be easy from here with the numbers going up after each extension.
