Kyler Murray's release puts Cardinals in full
Key Points:
- Kyler Murray is expected to be released by the Arizona Cardinals next week, prompting the team to consider their next starting quarterback for the post-Murray era.
- Jacoby Brissett, currently on a two-year deal and well-regarded in the locker room, is the most realistic short-term option to start in 2026, having shown promise despite challenges with the offensive line and run game.
- The Cardinals may explore adding competition at quarterback by signing a veteran like Jimmy Garoppolo, who has experience with the coaching staff’s offensive system and could provide valuable depth on a low-cost contract.
- Malik Willis is a high-upside but expensive option, with a strong showing in limited play but potentially costing $20-$30
