Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals were once being talked about as the NFL’s best team early in the 2021 season.
Unfortunately, the year ended with an embarrassing loss to the Los Angeles Rams in the Wild Card Round.
Murray and the Cardinals have been sitting at home for weeks, wondering what went wrong.
Fans are feeling the same, and were given a reason to panic this week.
That was because the quarterback removed all mentions of the team from his Instagram account.
Arizona QB Kyler Murray has unfollowed the team & removed all Cardinals-related content from his Instagram.
The only recent content was a picture of himself at the Pro Bowl and a story re-share of a Mike Evans post that said "always wanted to catch a pass from the Texas legend." pic.twitter.com/ltcQTvJcPA

Murray only has two posts still on his account and none advertising his career with the Cardinals.
So does this mean he wants out?
Fans Should Not Panic About Kyler
In this day and age, a marketing ploy could be the reasoning behind this move.
Or maybe Murray is trying to start from scratch in terms of how he views himself.
Those more anxious about the situation will note the fact he could always go back to playing baseball, where the Oakland A’s hold his rights.
But he can make significantly more money in the NFL and there have not been constant rumors of any reported change in professions.

The worst-case scenario here for Cardinals fans would be Murray demanding a trade out of Arizona.
If that were happening, there would likely have been some sort of leak about this request.
For now, we all may be looking too far into the social media accounts of a 24-year-old young man.
Yet it should still be noted that he or the team will have to offer some explanation to his Instagram and Twitter happenings.
Otherwise, the theories may run deep into the zone of conspiracy.
