Kyler Murray is either oblivious or he loves drama.
Otherwise, it is tough to think of another explanation as to why the Arizona Cardinals quarterback removed all mentions of the team from his social media accounts.
This is not someone with 200 followers making a change.
Murray had to know this would become a story, and it has over the past few days.
But there have been no updates to let fans know what is going on.
NFL insider Ian Rapoport spoke Tuesday evening on the matter and it’s clear he isn’t sure on what will happen either.

Rapoport summed up the situation saying it could mean a number of things, but he isn’t sure what.
He also said he reached out to the quarterback’s agent and did not receive a comment.
So it looks like we are all left in the dark until Murray either puts out a statement or makes a highly-anticipated post on social media.
Trade Rumors Are Swirling
The natural reaction for fans when seeing this Murray social media drama is to assume he wants a trade.
That has trade rumors swirling with social media abuzz with all the potential destinations.
If Kyler Murray requests a trade then the Steelers should most definitely try to bring him to Pittsburgh. He’s worth a first rounder. #Steelers #NFL

Any team in need of a quarterback would surely love to have the former No. 1 pick aboard.
But this may be looking too far into the situation.
And perhaps that is the point in some weird way?
It’s entirely possible Murray is just starting fresh on social media.
Or this could all be part of big marketing ploy by the young player.
The fact Rapoport has not gotten wind of any trade demand may be good news for Cardinals fans.
If Murray did want a trade, it would be hard to keep that a secret for too long.
The way he played the last games, he should demand a pay decrease.
