Is Kyler Murray Asking for a $50-55 Million Extension From the Cardinals?

Following the Pro Bowl last weekend Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray made headlines when he scrubbed his social media accounts of any mention of his current team.  The rumors started swirling immediately.

There's speculation that Murray either wants out of Arizona or wants a new contract.  One of the rumors is that he wants an extension worth $50-55 million per season.  This rumor was shot down by NFL insider Benjamin Allbright, who called it laughably false.

Whether Kyler is asking for that insane extension or not, this off-season is shaping up to be another drama filled mess.  Not just for the Cardinals, but for a lot of teams.  Kyler has played well and if the Cardinals want to keep him around they're probably going to have to open their wallet.
