Cardinals' Justin Pugh wants new deal for Kyler Murray before training camp

Arizona Cardinals general manager Steve Keim assured everyone in late May that he was confident "we'll be able to get something done this summer" regarding a contract extension for two-time Pro Bowl quarterback Kyler Murray. 

Murray could've attempted to make things awkward for Keim and company by remaining away from the club throughout the spring, but he ultimately arrived for voluntary organized team activities and, later, for mandatory minicamp. 

Arizona left tackle D.J. Humphries said in early June that "you’re a plum fool" to "think Kyler is not our future." Per Jess Root of Cards Wire/USA Today, Cardinals offensive lineman Justin Pugh echoed that opinion during a recent experience on "The Dave Pasch Podcast." 

"We were always under the impression he was going to be here," Pugh said of Murray. "Obviously, he may not be as happy as he would be if he had the contract, but he’s been here, which lets you know the two sides are getting closer. If it was further apart and they weren't seeing eye to eye and things weren’t close, I don’t think he would be here."

Pugh added he thinks "it’s only a matter of time before this thing gets done" and the matter is put to bed, for good. 

"Hopefully it’s done before camp, so we just have everything in the rear view and we’re going to winning games at that point," he continued. 

According to Myles Simmons of Pro Football Talk, Arizona veterans report to training camp on July 26.
