Murray recently deleted his Instagram account of any mention or photography of the Cardinals. On Monday, a day after the Super Bowl and after reports surfaced that he was upset that he was scapegoated for the Cardinals’ late-season woes, Murray spoke out.
‘All this nonsense is not what I do’
Oklahoma’s former first overall pick didn’t mince words.
“I play this game for love, for my teammates, everyone who has helped me get to this position who believed in me and to win championships,” Murray wrote on Twitter in his official verified account. “All this nonsense is not what I do, never has been, never will be. Anyone who has gotten between those lines with me knows how hard I go. Love me or hate me, but I’m going to keep growing and getting better.”
Cardinals statement
The Cardinals previously released a statement about Murray, who threw for 3,787 yards, 24 touchdowns and 10 interceptions last season. He led Arizona to a 10-6 record while rushing for 423 yards and 5 touchdowns.
“Nothing has changed regarding our opinion and great respect for Kyler Murray,” the statement read. “We as a team and Kyler individually have gotten better every year he’s been in the league. We are excited to continue that improvement in 2022 and we are excited that Kyler Murray is the quarterback that leads us.”
