After two injury-plagued seasons, Murray is back to full health and eager to return to the spotlight as one of the league’s premier quarterbacks.

Obviously, for the Cardinals, this is the attitude they want to see from their “franchise quarterback.” After all, it has been something they believe Murray can bring to Arizona, leading them to signing him a five-year, $320.5 million contract before the 2022 season. This contract stands as the 8th largest in football. At the time that he signed it, there were only two other players with larger deals.
In most sportsbooks, Murray is below half of the quarterbacks in the league in terms of MVP odds. But, for Comeback Player of the Year, he holds +2000 odds, 7th overall.
Barring any unforeseen injuries, Murray is poised to play his first full season since 2021, a moment he’s been eagerly awaiting. “Football has been on my mind all offseason,” he said. “I’ve had this season on my mind for a long time.”
The time has finally arrived, with kickoff set for 10:00 AM this Sunday.
