Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk, who has played four seasons for the team after getting drafted in the second round in 2018, is scheduled to become a free agent in March. - He had a career season in 2021, snagging 77 passes fro 982 yatrds and five touchdowns. He set career highs in receptions and receiving yards, and he did not miss a game for the first time in his career. - Whether he re-signs with the team or leaves will be determined by a number of them, but one factor will be the status of quarterback Kyler Murray. - ESPN’s Josh Weinfuss caught up with Kirk at a charity event and asked him about mow Murray’s future with the team will affect his own. - “It’ll definitely have a deciding factor,” he said. - Kirk and Murray are close friends. Kirk will certainly want to play for a top quarterback and Murray was that in 2021. - While a recent comment by Kirk’s mother on social media suggests that Kirk wouldn’t want to play with Murray, perhaps that is simply his mom’s opinion and not his own. - Free agency begins in March. The Cardinals can exclusively negotiate a new deal until then. - - List - - 8 big questions facing the Cardinals this offseason - - - - - - - Listen to the latest from Cards Wire’s Jess Root on his podcast, Rise Up, See Red.
