Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray could be released this month unless Arizona receives trade interest, NFL Network reported.
Murray, a two-time Pro Bowl selection and former No. 1 overall pick, missed 12 games last season with a foot injury and has played the full regular-season schedule just once in the past five years.
Still, the top pick in the 2019 draft and 2018 Heisman Trophy winner would likely have many suitors in free agency. Teams with health concerns, questions or unproven starters reported to be in on Murray if he’s released include the Minnesota Vikings, New York Jets, Atlanta Falcons and Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Cardinals hired Mike LaFleur to replace Jonathan Gannon as head coach in February. The former Rams offensive coordinator and brother of Packers coach Matt LaFleur was part of the Arizona contingent that met with multiple quarterback prospects at the NFL Scouting Combine. The Cardinals pick third overall in the 2026 draft.
Murray has 121 TD passes and 60 interceptions in 87 career regular-season games and played for Gannon and Kliff Kingsbury during his seven seasons with the franchise.
Holdover quarterback Jacoby Brissett is an option to start for the Cardinals and was largely effective as Murray’s replacement for Arizona last season.
