Murray and the Cardinals had a pretty busy offseason negotiating.

After losing to the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Wild Card Round, ending a season that the Cardinals started 7-0 before losing six of their next 10 games, Murray told reporters the year was a “massive failure.”

He also did the usual social media scrub of his team. But it all worked out.

Who says you need to be tall to get paid.
