Drama averted as Kyler Murray agrees to $230.5m deal with Arizona through 2028

• Murray and Cardinals agree to contract through 2028 season
• Two-time Pro Bowl quarterback was No 1 overall draft pick
• Deal brings an end to passive-aggressive contract squabble

The drama is over and the decision is in: Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals have made a long-term commitment to each other with a new contract that would keep the quarterback in the desert through the 2028 season.

The two-time Pro Bowl selection was taken with the No 1 overall pick out of Oklahoma after he won the Heisman Trophy and has largely delivered in his quest to make the Cardinals a better franchise.
