Kyler Murray's New Homework Clause and Other Strange NFL Contract Stipulations

Kyler Murray made headlines last week not only for the massive five-year, $230.5 million contract extension he signed with the Arizona Cardinals but also for a unique homework clause put in that new deal.

According to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, the contract stipulates that the quarterback must engage in at least four hours of "Independent Study" per week during the NFL season.

The contract goes on to define "Independent Study" as material provided by the Cardinals to help them prepare for an upcoming game, and the time must be earned outside of mandatory meetings.
