NFC Notes: 49ers, Cardinals, Rams, Seahawks

Cardinals

• Cardinals’ HC Kliff Kingsbury says he has not been in touch with QB Kyler Murray since he released a statement via his agent but says the two are still in a good place: “We’re in a great place. He’s improved dramatically on the field and as a leader. Our long-term goal is to have Kyler as our QB. He understands that. He understands my view of him and how I feel about him…It’s all part of the business right now and things we’ll continue to work through.” (Mike Giardi)
• Kingsbury said he expects WR Rondale Moore to be a bigger part of the offense in 2022 and will attempt to get him the ball with space. (Doug Kyed)
• Keim praised WR Christian Kirk, adding that he would love to have him back for 2022. (Matt Verderame)
• Cardinals GM Steve Keim spoke about the situation involving Murray at the combine as well, adding that their conversations would remain private: “The one thing I’ll say in regards to the statement is I think it’s an agent doing his job. I have a lot of respect for Erik Burkhardt and Kyler Murray.” (Field Yates)
• Keim noted he has no reason to think Murray wouldn’t play this year without a new contract and said the team would “absolutely” pick up his fifth-year option. (Ryan Dunleavy)

Rams

• On3Sports.com’s Matt Zenitz reports the Rams are expected to interview TCU assistant HC/run game coordinator Ra’Shaad Samples for their RB coach position.

Seahawks

• Seahawks QB Russell Wilson was asked on The Today Show if he would consider coming to play for the Commanders: “I’m from Richmond, I know what you mean, I got people hitting me up every day, all my friends and all that from the East Coast but Seattle’s the place I’m at right now and I love it.” (JP Finlay)
