Where Will Kyler Murray End Up This Season?
The Ringer • • general
Key Points:
- The Arizona Cardinals plan to release quarterback Kyler Murray before the 2026 NFL league year begins, making him a free agent despite still owing him $36.8 million guaranteed for 2026; the move is driven by Murray's injury history rather than talent concerns.
- Murray has struggled with durability, starting a full season only three times in seven years, and has posted middling stats recently, but he remains an above-average quarterback who could attract significant interest in free agency.
- Potential landing spots for Murray include the Vikings, Jets, Dolphins, Falcons, and Steelers, with varying degrees of fit based on salary cap space, team competitive timelines, and offensive schemes.
- The Dolphins likely cannot afford Murray and do not fit his timeline or offensive
