There has been much discussion this offseason about Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray, whether he is a good leader and whether he deserves a monster contract extension this offseason. There is no question about both things, according to Cardinals receiver Christian Kirk, who is about to become a free agent. - Kirk was approached by TMZ Sports and said Murray is deserving of a new deal. - “Kyler’s a special player,” he said. “There are few people that can do what he does. I believe he deserves everything he’s earned and that he has coming.” - Kirk also had nothing bad to say about Murray’s leader. When asked directly if Murray is a good leader, Kirk’s answer affirmative, and he had nothing but good things to say about how the quarterback is as a teammate. - “He’s a great friend of mine,” he said. “He’s always treated me well and his teammate around him well. Every time he steps on the field, he wants to win.” - When it comes to the locker room, those two things are what matter — does a player treat his teammates well and does he want to win? - For all that is being said about Murray’s body language, connection with teammates, leadership and maturity, it hasn’t been his teammates to raise questions about them. - - List - - Biggest winners from the 2022 NFL combine - - - - - - - Listen to the latest from Cards Wire’s Jess Root on his podcast, Rise Up, See Red.
