Warren Moon says the independent study clause in Kyler’s contract was a slap in the face to black QB’s

Did the Cardinals burn a bridge with Kyler Murray?

Warren Moon is one of the best black quarterbacks to ever suit up, and he was appalled by the independent study clause the Arizona Cardinals put into Kyler Murray‘s contract this month.

Moon called it not only “embarrassing,” but a “slap in the face to all African-American quarterbacks.”

“It’s something we were always accused of back in the day when they didn’t let us play,” Moon says. “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.”

“So yeah, very embarrassing.”


The Cardinals quickly removed the clause in the contract but Moon says the damage has already been done.

“The damage has been done,” the 65-year-old said. “He’ll have this riding on him every time he does something wrong in a football game. They’re going to say, ‘See, that’s the reason why that happened is because he didn’t study enough film last week,’ or whatever it might be.”

“It’s a very unfortunate situation for him and very embarrassing for both sides.”


This definitely does not look good, here is my question, why didn’t the agent catch this?
