Yeah this feels like situation in which they settled for guy because of lack of interest from other potential candidates and fact they have to pay $ for coming years to Kingsbury
If I was owner of Cards my interest would have died at conclusion of SB
Going to guess that in 2 years Gannon is out as HC and Cards are back to being bottom feeder
Gannon is in for a tough season. No Kyler for the first half of the season at least. I would guess his main focus is going to be on the Defence and like Saleh, Daboll getting his side down pact first then worry about the O when Murray returns. AZ is tied to Kyler for 2023 and 2024. It is a $33 mill dead cap hit to move off him after the 2024 season. If the Cards end up at the bottom this upcoming season, I can see them opting to draft a QB and move off the non committed Kyler.
Kyler is an $81 mill dead cap hit in 2024. His 2024 is base salary of $37 million and Option of $7.2 mill is guaranteed, so that would be included as part of the $81 mill dead cap charge. If they are that bad in 2023 and are in position to draft a QB, I'd do that and trade Murray and eat a $40 million or whatever dead cap charge in 2024 for him to move on with a new QB.
