NFC Notes: Davante Adams, Kyler Murray, John Schneider, Cardinals, Rams, Seahawks

Cardinals

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray views the team as up-and-coming, noting that he doesnโ€™t think the team is too far away from competing for a Super Bowl.
 
โ€œAt the end of the day, Iโ€™ve had some success, but as a unit, in totality, I think the ultimate goal for us is to win the Super Bowl, and we havenโ€™t done that yet, and I havenโ€™t done enough,โ€ Murray said, via NFL.com. โ€œIโ€™m looking forward to this next season. I think, as an organization, weโ€™re on the up and up, and Iโ€™m looking forward to it.โ€
 
โ€œIโ€™ve only been in the playoffs once,โ€ Murray added referencing the teamโ€™s 2021 wild-card loss. โ€œThat, in itself, is disappointing to me and frustrating. Got to turn that around. Iโ€™m only getting older. But Iโ€™m only 27, Iโ€™m still young, so weโ€™ve got time and I know weโ€™re headed in the right direction. We are not far at all. I think anythingโ€™s possible.โ€

Seahawks

โ€œYeah, the offensive line. Definitely, we need to [address it]. Everybody sees it,โ€ Schneider said, via Gregg Bell of the Tacoma News Tribune. โ€œI get it with the offensive line, the offensive-line stuff. Talking about the fans, I mean, I get that. โ€œI have empathy for that, big time.โ€
