    Vikings' Kyler Murray: Lands one-year deal from Minnesota

    The Minnesota Vikings signed Kyler Murray to a one-year contract Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.With Murray set to collect $36.8 million from the Cardinals in 2026 following his release from the team, Murray will earn the veteran league minimum from the Vikings, according to Schefter. The contract also contains a no-tag clause for next offseason, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Minnesota was always viewed as the likely landing spot for Murray, and he'll now be considered the slight favorite to win the QB1 job over J.J. McCarthy, though this will be one of the more fascinating position battles of the summer. After winning Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2019 followed by back-to-back Pro Bowl selections in 2020 and 2021, Murray's career was somewhat derailed by injuries and poor play. A fresh start appeared to be necessary, and he'll now have Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison at his disposal should he win the job over McCarthy.

    Kyler Murray: Set to visit Minnesota

    Kyler Murray will visit the Vikings on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.As Schefter notes, the belief across the league is that Murray's likely landing spot is Minnesota after he was officially released by the Cardinals earlier Wednesday. The Vikings are an ideal landing spot after J.J. McCarthy struggled to an 11:12 TD:INT and 58 percent completion percentage across 10 starts in his first season as a starter in 2025. On top of the struggles on the field, McCarthy was unable to stay healthy when on it. Murray likely sees Minnesota as one of his better chances to claim a starting job.

    Kyler Murray: Time in AZ officially up

    The Cardinals released Kyler Murray (foot) on Wednesday.Murray's release has been widely anticipated and makes him one of the top available free agents on the open market, especially considering the fact that the $36.8 million in guarantees still owed to the 28-year-old quarterback make it reasonable for him to sign a one-year, league minimum deal with his next team. Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports that the Vikings are the current favorites as Murray's landing spot but that the quarterback wishes to explore his options as a free agent. A foot sprain caused Murray to miss the final 12 games of 2025, but there have been no indications that the issue will have any impact on his offseason activities. Meanwhile, Arizona has added Gardner Minshew to a QB room still led by potential 2026 incumbent starter Jacoby Brissett.

    Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Posts goodbye to Arizona

    Kyler Murray (foot) shared a goodbye message to the Arizona Cardinals organization on his personal social media accounts Tuesday.The 28-year-old quarterback is expected to be released by Arizona. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the transaction will occur when the new league year starts March 11, barring the materialization of a last-minute trade. Murray's contract guarantees him $36.8 million in 2026, and were he to remain on the roster March 15, another $19.5 million in guarantees would trigger. Murray missed the final 12 games of 2025 due to a foot sprain, and though he played all 17 regular-season contests in 2024, he also missed a combined 15 regular-season games the two years prior. Despite that checkered injury history, the two-time Pro Bowler will likely be in high demand given the number of teams in need of a starting quarterback, and the lack of enticing options available in free agency or the draft.

    Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Likely done in Arizona

    Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that the Arizona Cardinals will "likely" release Kyler Murray (foot) barring a last-second trade.Cardinals general manager Monti Ossenfort relayed Tuesday that "all options are on the table" for Murray and the team's options at quarterback, per Jayne Bardahl of The Athletic. However, it appears as though Murray will not be part of Arizona's future plans. A separation could happen shortly after the new league year starts March 11, as the 28-year-old quarterback would be due a guaranteed roster bonus of $19.5 million for 2027 if he were still on the Cardinals' active roster by March 16. Murray missed the last 12 games of the 2025 regular season due to a foot sprain. He completed 68.3 percent of his passes for 962 yards, six touchdowns and three interceptions while turning 29 carries into 173 yards and a score across five games last year.

    Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Future with Cardinals TBD

    On Tuesday, GM Monti Ossenfort said that "all options are on the table" regarding Kyler Murray's future with the Arizona Cardinals and the team's plans at quarterback, Jayna Bardahl of The Athletic reports.Per Ossenfort, "as it pertains to that position -- as it pertains to every position on our team -- we're going to look at every avenue to improve, and we're going to continue to go through our process with that." For now, the Cardinals have Murray, Jacoby Brissett and Kedon Slovis under contract, but the status of the first overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft -- who played just five games last season after suffering a foot injury in Week 5 -- remains unclear. A decision could come by mid-March, given that if Murray is on Arizona's active roster on the fifth day of the upcoming league year, he'd be due a guaranteed roster bonus for 2027 of $19.5 million.

    Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Cardinals future in doubt

    Kyler Murray (foot) might never play for the Arizona Cardinals again, with the team treating him like the Broncos did with Russell Wilson a couple of seasons ago, Jay Glazer reported on Fox NFL Sunday.Many have speculated that this might be Murray's fate, given that he wasn't initially expected to have a lengthy absence and then ended up on IR. The Cardinals will have an interesting offseason discussion, to say the least. Will they use a potential top-10 pick on a quarterback, shop for another veteran, or even bring back Jacoby Brissett? Meanwhile, Brissett will remain the starter the rest of this season.

    Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Won't return this year

    Kyler Murray's foot injury isn't improving and he won't play again this season, Darren Urban of the Arizona Cardinals' official site reports.Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon made the announcement Friday, confirming what many already expected. He didn't say if Murray will need surgery, nor did the coach comment on expectations for Murray's future (or lack thereof) with the Cardinals. Jacoby Brissett will continue making starts for Arizona, to the delight of anyone relying on TE Trey McBride or WR Michael Wilson in fantasy.

    Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Will not practice this week

    Kyler Murray (foot) will not return to practice this week, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.Murray remains on injured reserve but is eligible to have his 21-day practice window opened. However, the Arizona Cardinals will not start Murray's clock for a return, and he'll stick on injured reserve for at least one more week while his foot continues to heal. Jacoby Brissett again will operate under center as the Cardinals' starting quarterback.

    Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Not yet fully healthy

    Kyler Murray is eligible to return from injured reserve Week 14, but he doesn't appear to be fully healed from his mid-foot sprain and appears unlikely to be activated ahead of next Sunday's game against the Rams, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.According to Rapoport, the Arizona Cardinals anticipated that Murray would be 100 percent healthy following a four-week stay on IR, but the signal-caller apparently hasn't responded as well to extended rest as the team believed he would. Jacoby Brissett thus appears poised to retain the starting job heading into Week 14, and given how well Brissett has performed over the last several weeks, the Cardinals may not have much motivation to reintegrate Murray down the stretch. Murray is guaranteed $36.8 million for the 2026 season, and Arizona will owe him another $19.5 million in salary for 2027 if he remains on the roster through March 16.
