Murray Released: Falcons' Film Study Rule Backfires

0:00It's March 4th, here's your NFL news in two minutes. Subscribe to Stay Locked in All Season. Kyler Murray's time with the Atlanta Falcons ended last night. After the team told him, he would be released without a trade. He shared an emotional goodbye on social media, saying he wanted to end the franchise's long title drought, but fell short. Earlier this week, the Falcons had hoped for a deal, but none came through. This comes years after Murray signed a huge $230 million extension in 2022 that included a rule for four hours of weekly film study with no video games or TV allowed. Fans and experts split on that clause back then, with some calling it insulting, while others pointed to Murray's past remarks about relying more on. Instinct, then deep taper view. The team dropped the rule amid the uproar, but questions lingered. Now NFL Hall of Famer Chris Carter has weighed in on his podcast, confirming rumors that the Falcons tracked Murray's computer use and found he barely watched film.
