Kyler Murray shared his reaction on Thursday to the news of his teammate, Trey McBride, signing a big new contract.
The Arizona Cardinals on Thursday gave tight end McBride a 4-year, $76 million contract with $43 million guaranteed. McBride’s contract makes him the highest-paid tight end in terms of total money and average annual value.
Murray expressed happiness for McBride on signing the deal.
“Maaaaan! So happy for my dawg, worth every penny! More work to be done but a great day,” Murray wrote on X.

Murray has some great reasons to be happy — McBride was his favorite option last season. Murray targeted McBride a team-high 147 times, and McBride led the Cardinals with 111 catches for 1,146 yards. The only area where McBride did not lead the team was in receiving touchdowns as he only had 2 last year.
The 25-year-old McBride was a second-round pick by the Cardinals in 2022 out of Colorado State. He has averaged 77 catches for 776 yards and 2 touchdowns per 17 games during his NFL career.
