Hall of Fame quarterback Warren Moon chastised the 'independent study' clause initially included in Kyler Murray's contract extension with the Arizona Cardinals, chastising the language as a 'slap in the face to all African-American quarterbacks.'
stating the Murray must complete"at least four hours of Independent Study each week during each Playing Season during the term of the Contact."
The clause also prohibited Murray from engaging in distractions such as TV and video games while conducting his independent study at the risk of defaulting on his contract. Moon, a pioneering Black quarterback who starred for the Houston Oilers and other NFL teams in the 1980s and 90s, told TMZ that the clause was"embarrassing" and a call-back to the days"when they didn't let us play.
"It's just an unfortunate situation," Moon said."It's an embarrassing situation for not only for the player Kyler Murray, but it's embarrassing for the organization to have to deal with this. I think it shows a lack of trust in the player that you even have to put something in a contract like this. "It's also a slap in the face to all African-American quarterbacks. That's something we were always accused of back in the day when they didn't let us play. That we were lazy, that we didn't study, that we couldn't be leaders, that we weren't smart. So all those different things just kind of came to surface after we put all that stuff to bed over the years and just because of this deal that's going on between Arizona and Kyler.
