One of the great stories of the Cardinals’ 2019 season was the surprisingly good play of RT Justin Murray.
Just a few days after Steve Keim traded 2nd year T Korey Cunningham to the Patriots for a 2020 6th round pick, the starting RT, Marcus Gilbert, suffered a season ending knee injury.
Whether it was Steve Keim, Sean Kugler, Brian Natkin or whomever was privy to the relatively unknown T Justin Murray—-claiming him off waivers from the Raiders was one of the most fortuitous moves the Cardinals made all season.
The Cardinals would have seen Murray in action during the pre-season as he played 24 snaps as the 2nd team RT for the Raiders in their win over the Cardinals.
