"I believe they'd bail if they could" - Colin Cowherd reckons Packers and Cardinals would move on from Aaron Rodgers and Kyler Murray if possible

According to Colin Cowherd, quarterback Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers and quarterback Kyler Murray of the Arizona Cardinals would not be on their respective teams if possible.

On the Fox Sports 1 show The Herd, Cowherd asserted that Green Bay and Arizona would move from their franchise signal-callers if they could:

"God, is it worth it? And the answer currently with both is yeah, right now it is. But I believe Green Bay and Arizona would bail on both if they could. They can't, so they won't. And remember what Chris Mortensen said in February. His tweet was there's an odd vibe between the Cardinals and Murray...it's alarming. Murray is described as self-centered, immature, a finger pointer. Murray's frustrated with the franchise and embarrassed by the playoff loss to the Rams because he thinks he's being framed as the scapegoat.”

He concluded his point by saying that the personalities of both quarterbacks are the reason why fans are left disappointed at the end of every season:

“Do you think you get that honestly from Russell Wilson or [Joe] Burrow? [Patrick] Mahomes? Josh Allen? Lamar Jackson? I just don't think you get that. I think Kyler [Murray] and Aaron [Rodgers] because of the makeup of their personalities, there's a reason why we're disappointed at the end of seasons more than other great quarterbacks. Because this is hard."

The Packers re-signed their four-time AP NFL MVP to a three-year, $150,815,000 contract. It includes a $40.8 million-dollar signing bonus, $150,815,000 guaranteed, and an average yearly salary of $50,271,667.

Murray has one year remaining on his rookie deal, and Arizona has a fifth-year option on him for the 2023 season.

Murray will get a base salary of $965,000 and a roster bonus of $4,524,360 while having a cap hit of $11,386,841 and a dead cap value of $11,186,842. He’s looking for a new deal this offseason.
