He had recently leaked that Kyler Murray’s new contract (QB, Cardinals) included a clause requiring him to study at least 4 hours of video per week. This is no longer the case. The franchise bluntly announced it in a press release.

“Seeing the distractions this created, we removed the condition from the contract. It was perceived in a way that was not intended. Our confidence in Kyler is higher than it has ever been. And nothing shows our confidence in his ability to lead this team more than the commitment we made with his contract. »

Whoops…

Not everything has always worked like clockwork in Green Bay. Thursday, during his press briefing, Aaron Rodgers (QB) explained his satisfaction at having seen the leaders get closer to the players in recent years.

“I think it’s easier to be cut because someone you like, who you can talk to, look them in the eye, than to be cut and traded by someone you don’t have. no relationship,” the quarterback said.

Proof of the past disconnection of leaders? In 2018, when Kenny Clark believed for a moment that he was going to walk out.

« Kenny Clark came in on the day of the roster cuts and somebody took him for another guy who needed to be cut, » Rodgers said. “They told him, ‘Take your playbook and go upstairs. And Kenny said, « What? » I’m a first-round pick. Am I cut? In my third year? « Things like that shouldn’t happen in a well-run franchise. Because relationships are the most important thing in this game. Because that’s what creates chemistry. »
