Patrick Peterson spent the first 10 years of his NFL career with the Cardinals, and he believes the franchise didn’t do what it takes to win with quarterback Kyler Murray.
Peterson, who now plays in Minnesota but played with Murray in Arizona in 2019 and 2020, said he doesn’t think the Cardinals’ decision-makers did a good job of building a winner and that Murray is losing patience with them.
“I was close to K1,” Peterson told CBS Sports. “He’s a competitor. . . . And I feel like no disrespect to the Arizona Cardinals, I feel like they don’t empower the team to be successful year after year. And Kyler Murray isn’t going to sit around and wait for that.”
On the same podcast, former cardinals running back Chase Edmonds agreed.
“I just know, mostly because I know how the last two years ended, so 2021 and 2020, and I know what kind of competitor K1 is and what kind of winner he wants to be,” Edmonds said. “I knew some things would happen eventually.”
During the offseason, reports have surfaced that Murray and the Cardinals are not on the same page, and Murray is reportedly planning to skip all volunteer offseason work.
