Kyler Murray must watch 4 hours of film per week as part of his contract
Putting this clause in was a blunder.

It makes him look like an immature lazy POS, and it makes the Cardinals look like idiots for giving him that big of a contract.

I understand the need to cya. But maybe just tell him it’s expected behind the scenes or something.

unless that is a way they snuck in an out clause passed his agent because they know he wont do it so they can back out of that contract using it as an excuse if he isnt producing on the field to live up to the pay he is getting

They would need some pretty concrete proof that he didn’t study, which I don’t how how they could possibly obtain that.

Him performing poorly isn’t going to be enough. Only reason his agents likely agreed to this is because they know it’s hardly enforceable. Which kind of makes it a silly endeavor in the first place that will only serve to create bad headlines for both him and the team

You are missing the point here. Great QB’s are film rats without being told to…. That’s a fact….

And that doesn't exist if you put it in every deal regardless as a pure CYA move

What I really do not understand is what has this guy done to even get a contract like this???

There’s number of reasons and excuses for giving Kyler a huge contract;
It’s the market rate for a QB.
He’s a first rounder that’s already eligible for a big pay increase in his fifth year, and a long term contract can help the team spread out the cap hit by applying some of his signing bonus over the last two years of his rookie deal.

However, the real reason is that the futures of both the head coach and GM are in doubt. For better or worse, their immediate job security is tied to Kyler. They don’t have the luxury of letting Kyler walk or holdout.

If it doesn’t work out, then they’ll be out of a job long before his contract expires. Others will inherit their mess.

He will comply by watching "The Replacements" on Netflix

All contracts probably have weird stipulations like this but this is a big frick you by the cardinals to Murray and his agent to leak it

Bad, dumb franchise.

WOW!
