Patrick Peterson, Chase Edmonds Don’t Think Kyler Murray Stays with Cardinals

Set Number: X163910 TK1

Former Arizona Cardinals players
Patrick Peterson and Chase Edmonds don’t believe quarterback Kyler
Murray will remain with the organization for the long haul.

Peterson, who’s now with the Minnesota
Vikings, provided a blunt response Wednesday when asked on the All Things
Covered podcast (h/t Jeremy Cluff of the Arizona Republic) whether
Murray would finish his career with the Cards:

“No. I’ve been around K1. He’s a
competitor. … And I feel like, no disrespect to the Arizona
Cardinals, I feel like they don’t put the team in a position to be
successful year after year after year. They want to sit and wait on
draft picks instead of being aggressive in free agency and going and
getting guys that can help you get better right now versus waiting on
the future. And Kyler Murray’s not gonna sit around and wait for
that.”

Edmonds, now a member of the Miami
Dolphins, added he witnessed a lot of “drama” in Arizona over the
last few years, which doesn’t bode well for Murray sticking with the
franchise:

“It wasn’t surprising to me, bro,
to say the least. … I speak when spoken to, but my ears are always
open. I know how certain things were done. I know us as players
didn’t always agree with. Obviously, that is how it is always going to
go in the game of football, whether it is coaches-players, front
office-players, front office-coaches. … I just know, especially
knowing how the last two years had ended, meaning 2021 and 2020, and
knowing the type of competitor that K1 is, and the type of winner
that he wants to be. … I knew there was gonna be, at some point,
some things happening.”
