Allow me to translate this statement for all of you. Murray wants to get paid, and he wants to get paid in a big way.
Burkhardt’s statement makes it crystal clear that Murray expects to get paid like other star quarterbacks who have led their teams to the playoffs.
It now seems that Kyler Murray wants to remain Arizona’s QB — as long as the team is willing to make his long term contract extension a priority. https://t.co/svdvyTXBkF

That means Murray is easily looking for $30 million a season or more. Yeah, that’s a big ask, especially given how the team collapsed down the stretch this past season.
There’s no doubt he’s talented, but getting blown out in the opening round of the playoffs and struggling to win in the second half of the season isn’t a convincing argument for a massive extension.
