“We’re about to make him the highest-paid player in franchise history,” Kingsbury said last week after practice.
It appears this situation is soon to be resolved. Any doubts about Murray’s future as a Cardinal can probably be put to rest, because Murray is about to get paid.
Wait, lowercase probably doesn’t tell the whole story. He’s about to get PAID.
How much?
$45 million per year seems likely, per ESPN projections. Whew.

“After [Clowney] returned to Cleveland, there was a report that he accepted less money to return. There were also a few reports that Clowney was not going to return to play with QB Baker Mayfield but was excited to play with Watson once again including a report that the defensive end sold Watson on coming to the Browns.”
Maybe I’m not the right guy to give advice. But just a thought: If you’re super-duper excited to work with a guy who currently has 24 pending civil lawsuits for sexual misconduct, you may want to keep that excitement to yourself.

Do the Panthers actually want the guy? Are the Browns trying to give them Mayfield against their will? Are the Panthers feeling more confident in Matt Corral?
Answers, people! It’s mid-June — we need more exciting football chaos!

During a time of year where holdouts are common, it’s a breath of fresh air to see someone like Jackson be all business when it comes to showing up for camp.
“I play football,” Jackson said in a recent presser. “That’s what I’m here for.”
Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for guys securing the bag. If a holdout is necessary, do it. Get your money.
But I have equal respect for a player who bets on himself. Jackson isn’t worried about playing on his fifth-year option in 2022. He knows his payday is coming. Let the play do the negotiating.
