Last week Kyler Murray was named one of the Mut 24 coins highest paid quarterbacks after signing a five year, $230 million contract. This was a show of confidence, a sign of faith, and a confirmation of the fact that Cardinals believed that the quarterback was going to take their team into the future. A few days later the whole thing is gonebeing replaced by a worrying, and frankly insulting clause in the agreement.

The "Independent Research Addendum" received by Ian Rapoport of the Madden NFL 24 Network, and it states that the quarterback needs to complete his homework throughout the season, or that the team is allowed to put the contract into default and Murray has to fix or the agreement would become null and void.

"Player is required to complete at minimum an average of (4) hours of independent Research (as specified below) each week (excluding any bye week) in each Playing Season (as as defined in the following) during the term in the Contact."

It then outlines the meaning of this and that Murray isn't able to multitask when he's studying for his class. There are no television, no video games and no internet browsing during the four hours. If it sounds strange, that's because it's. This kind of study clause has never been a part of a Madden NFL 24 contract prior to now, and while on the surface it might seem like a huge deal -- already we're seeing the fallout of the decision.

The most important issue with this addendum isn't the requirement for independent studies as the mandate implies. The specificity of the clause will allow anyone to come to the same result: "Kyler Murray doesn't study and therefore we're compelled to." That's antithetical to what the Cardinals were required to do in this agreement, which was to inspire faith, put their trust in Murray and proceed.

Murray's relationship with fans needed mending. There was a rift, caused by the rumours of possible trades and the desire to leave Arizona. In addition, there was frustration regarding how he refused to get back on the field in the midst of a losing playoff effort at the hands of the Rams. At a time where there was a need for even solid trust building across all parties however, the Cardinals introduced this clause and completely destroyed the whole thing. Perceptions have been reset and Mut 24 coins for sale the notion that Murray does not put in the effort -- or has to be forcibly to "love" football (a old pre-draft rule due to his love of baseball) is back in the spotlight.
