Colts fans have turned their attention to Kyler Murray

Recent social media activity by Kyler Murray has Indianapolis Colts fans wondering if Indy has a shot at acquiring the quarterback.

All but two NFL teams have entered into offseason mode and an NFL offseason wouldn’t be complete without cryptic social media activity by a star player.

Well, fans didn’t have to wait long for this offseason to become official as some social media drama has already been provided thanks to Arizona Cardinals quarterback, Kyler Murray.

Following the Pro Bowl this past weekend, investigative social media users noticed that Murray scrubbed his Instagram of all but two photos, one at Oklahoma and one at the Pro Bowl, and also unfollowed the Cardinals account.

This may seem like a bit of a dramatic reaction by the internet, but in 2022, social media activity is a big deal.

Does this mean that it’s trouble in the desert and Kyler Murray is about to force his way out? Not necessarily. Could it be a sign of some internal conflict? Possibly.

There were reports of a lot of frustration within the franchise after the team’s disappointing playoff finish, so maybe this is the next domino.

Or maybe everyone is just overreacting and Murray wanted to rebrand his Instagram, or start the process for some product rollout or fashion campaign.

The only certain thing is that fans will take this as an opportunity to imagine Murray forcing his way out and their team trading for the talented quarterback.

Indianapolis Colts fans have already started this process.

Colts fans question possibility of Kyler Murray to Indy

After the way the season ended, Carson Wentz is in the unfortunate position of Indy’s fans seeking an upgrade. Every quarterback that may be on the move this offseason will be considered as a potential replacement.

Russell Wilson to Aaron Rodgers and now Kyler Murray.

There’s only a handful of teams that wouldn’t want Kyler Murray if he became available, and the Colts aren’t one.

Last season, in just 14 games, Murray passed for 3,787 yards and 24 touchdowns to just 10 interceptions. On the ground, he added 423 yards and five additional touchdowns.

In just three seasons, he has established himself as one of the premier quarterbacks in this league and has been instrumental in the quick turnaround of Arizona.

That’s exactly the kind of player the Colts would want to upgrade to at quarterback. Unfortunately, it’s extremely unlikely.

Colts are unlikely to acquire Kyler Murray

Murray is contracted for at least one more season and he has an additional fifth-year option that the Cardinals can pick up. All signs point to the franchise doing this, there’s no reason for the team not to.

The only way Murray could be on the move is if he explicitly tells the team he is not signing an extension after his rookie contract expires and Arizona decides to move him to get something in return.

That would be an incredibly unexpected and head-scratching decision by Murray. The Cardinals have been doing everything a young quarterback could ask for.

They’ve been making blockbuster trades and drafting well to bring weapons and defensive pieces to Arizona and that was reflected in the 11-6 record.

So despite the makeover of Kyler Murray’s Instagram, the chances of him leaving the Cardinals are slim to none. Fans of the Colts and other QB-needy teams should just turn their attention back to the other quarterbacks that may hit the market.
