Kyler Murray: 'I'm not too worried about my future as a Cardinal'

Kyler Murray set the record straight about his future with the Arizona Cardinals.

While Murray's frayed relationship with the organization has been the subject of intense speculation since the team's wild-card round loss to the Los Angeles Rams, Murray doused rumblings of turmoil between the two sides at a charity event on Thursday.

"I’m an Arizona Cardinal," Murray said. "I’ve done nothing but give my all to the Cardinals and will continue to do that. I’m not really too worried about my future as a Cardinal." 

The comments come as a surprise to many who've kept up with Murray's prior offseason activity.

His list of actions included scrubbing his Instagram profile of all things Cards-related while remaining quiet on his intentions behind the gesture in the month and a half that followed, all while his agent, Eric Burkhardt, demanded Arizona reward him with a contract extension. 

Murray addressed his obscure social media tactics Thursday as well, dismissing them as nothing more than a young man's seasonal changes. He added that deleting pictures was just something "kids" did these days and that it didn't indicate any animosity toward the Cardinals. 

Despite being well-aware of the clamor it was causing, and that he was among the most-discussed topics during the month that followed his IG cleanse, Murray added that there was no significance behind his decision to remain quiet and refrain from dispelling negative rumors.

"I was trending for like five weeks in a row, and every time I get on Twitter, I'm like ‘what are people saying my name for?’ But honestly, I'm happy where I'm at. I'm just being where my feet are and keeping football the main thing."

Not everyone was buying Murray's explanation on the whole ordeal.

But despite the questions, Murray's embracing his role as a community leader in Arizona, donating to a number of respective charities around the area this past week. 

And though the Cardinals have yet to meet Murray's contractual request, any indications of a potential standoff have yet to surface. 

"I let whoever takes care of [contractual stuff] take care of that stuff," he smiled. "All I worry about is playing good on the field."

Murray's all in by his own accounts, and for now, the Cards' QB1 remains K1.
