The Arizona Cardinals had to deal with some unexpected drama this week thanks to quarterback Kyler Murray.
He decided to scrub his social media of any mention of the team, and had only two posts remaining on his Instagram account.
That sent fans into a frenzy and had everyone wondering what it meant.
Could he be demanding a trade?
Is he making the jump to baseball?
No clarity has emerged and it remains to be seen when the quarterback will offer any explanation.
The team is deciding to have some fun with it and changed up their own Instagram page to copy Murray.

So this is pretty amazing.
The Cardinals scrubbed their own account except for two posts featuring Murray.
But on this page, he is actually shown with a Cardinals jersey.
The social media battle is on as everyone tries to figure out what it all means.
Cardinals Fans Left In The Dark
The days following the Super Bowl may be a tough time for fans in Arizona.
Football will officially be over and all the attention will turn toward Murray.
If he stays radio silent, panic will only build leading up to the new league year.

All the social media team can do is lean into it and try to make light of the whole situation.
That is the end goal of professional sports teams having social media accounts.
It is a way to engage with the fans in a fun manner, and not take anything too seriously.
Trying to decipher what Murray is thinking can be left up to the fans.
Yet until he makes himself heard, the theories will only continue to appear and evolve.
