NFL star Kyler Murray\u2019s new contract prepares for Modern Warfare 2 \u2018dropoff\u2019 EA SPORTSArizona Cardinals Quarterback Kyler Murray signed a new $220 million extension that includes a clause that attempts to curtail his Call of Duty addiction ahead of Modern Warfare 2\u2019s release. Kyler Murray is one of the most dynamic players in the NFL, both as a deadly passer and lightning-quick runner. While he\u2019s becoming a star in the league, he\u2019s also becoming a big name in gaming and the Call of Duty Twitch scene, and signed with FaZe Clan back in April 2021. Now, after he\u2019s signed his gargantuan extension to stay with the Cardinals, users on social media noticed a clause in his contract that might have to do with his dedication to Call of Duty. Kyler Murray\u2019s new contract may have Call of Duty clause tied in After inking the deal on July 25, reporters noticed a clause in the contract that requires Kyler to dedicate four hours of \u201cindependent study\u201d per week where Murray cannot be engaged in other activities including \u201cwatching television, playing video games, or browsing the internet.\u201d Noting video games in the activities bared could be significant, and social media sleuths did further digging to see if annual Call of Duty releases impacted his performance in the past. It turns out that this could be the case, and why the Cardinals included the clause in the first place. The Washington Post reported a study that found, \u201cIn games played before the annual Call of Duty release date over his career, Murray has averaged 22.5 fantasy points per game. In games played after the release date, Murray has averaged 17.4 points per game, a decline of 22.7%.\u201d Rosecitypeach made a visual graph to show CoD releases potentially having a negative impact on his performance. It may seem completely ridiculous, but each year CoD was released, around the exact time the quarterback\u2019s performance did decrease fairly significantly. With Modern Warfare 2 Remastered slated for an October 28 release, it looks like the Cardinals did their due diligence to make sure Kyler won\u2019t get distracted by his performance on Rust or Favela so he can go out and help win some NFL games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
